Mmmmm……Chocolate!
Nervous and shy, I entered the hut made of flimsy grass walls. The dark-skinned Mayan woman handed me a thick white towel and told me to take off my clothes. I lay on the table stark naked while musical flutes crooned quietly in the background. The sweet, seductive smell of warm chocolate overwhelmed me as the masseuse spread globs of the heavenly confectionery over my entire body.
“Do you want to taste?” she asked.
I dipped my finger in and licked off the rich chocolatey goodness, sighing with undeniable pleasure.
Jill is an international educator and published author who writes about her experiences living and working in schools and countries around the world. The interesting sites she has seen and the unique places she lived prompted her to begin writing. Originally from Wisconsin, USA, she currently lives in her seventh country, Honduras, with her husband, Dan, and her Yorkie-Poo, Mickey. While working as an elementary principal, Jill travels, shops for cultural artifacts, works at scrapbooking, reads obsessively, photographs the beautiful people and countries of Latin America, and muddles her way through the Spanish language.
Jill loves her life as an international educator, and on the days when there is ample electricity and water, she feels like she is living the dream.
