    In Costa Rica our driver said that gringo is not a spanish word rather it dates from when the American army wearing green uniforms occupied the port of Veracruz? at the start of the Mexican American war. The local people protested against the occupation by shouting green go! This was later shortened to the more spanish sounding gringo.

    We didn’t hear anyone in Costa Rica calling us gringos but that may be because many of the hotels we stayed at and many of the green reserves were created and owned by Americans.

    What is that? (Picture of a squash/melon with stuff in it, on “Central America in a Flash”)

    A: The melon-looking thing is a cacao pod cracked open to reveal the plant’s seeds. These can be eaten (yum), dried and roasted to make chocolate products or plant to grow new cacao trees.
