Coffee Plantation


Today we had our first telaxing day. We visited a coffee plantation today! We were 1400 meters above sea level where it was cool and lush. They started by taking our coffee orders and then gave us a tour and a step by step demonstration of how the coffee is processed. Our guide roasted our beans over an open fire in an old kettle. It was the best coffee I've ever tasted! They they fed us a delicious african lunch. We then did some shopping and saw some beautiful Tinga Tinga style paintings. After diner we had members of the local tribe play drums and dance. They eventually pulled all of us out on the stage. It was amazing and so fun!  We are all having such a tremendous learning experience. Tomorrow we head over to a school to provide care and friendship for the students. We miss you all and can't wait to see you.

Peace,
