If you're drinking coffee right now did you know that coffee is a fruit? You can see a photo of a coffee plant below. I've been to a coffee plantation, a family owned an run organic farm, and my new home is in the beautiful countryside of Monteverde. It's a change from Heredia. Instead of waking up to the noises of the sister in law next door yelling at her children I'm waking up to the rooster in the backyard! I'm usually awake anyway.
The woman in the red shirt in the photo with me is Ana, my host "Mom" in Heredia, who is 20 some years younger than I am. She is a wonderful cook and host.
My new host Mom has a one year old granddaughter living with her so that is fun. I speak more Spanish than she does. :)
My new host family does not have internet so I may not be able to post as often as I'd like, I'm still having an amazing, wonderful life-changing experience. Here are some photos from Heredia. I'll post some from my new home in Monteverde soon.
Are you bringing some coffee back? ;)
