After we left the square we went to a factory that makes chocolate......all kinds. They showed us the trees that have the pods that have the coffee beans in them. (That is Gail in the background drinking hot chocolate tea.)
They go through multiple phases to process the beans into various products.
They not only had chocolate candy but they had just about anything else you could think of that was made out of chocolate including the tea and a wonderful chocolate wine.
Next on our list was the city fort that was erected in 1577 to protect the island from pirates. Today it is a museum.
Of course they had many ways for you to buy souvenirs and spend your money there also.
On our way home we passed a large number of sugar cane fields
and we were scheduled to stop at a rum factory but everybody was too tired. (We think this was just a bottling plant and they didn't really make the rum there.) Besides, most of us were out of money by this time anyway.
