This morning we spent a couple of hours at the Coffee Co-Op in San Luis, Monte Verde. We planted coffee plants. It was hot and strenuous work! However, in 3 – 4 years, there will be coffee beans produced on the plants that we transplanted. That’s an awesome thought! There are 42 members of the Monte Verde Coffee Co-Op. Of course they only grow Arabica coffee…as it is the best and is perfect for the rich volcanic soil and climate. Some of the coffee that is produced is exported to Texas and Montana. The product varies from year to year depending on the crop produced. There is a Coffee Co-Op Café in Monte Verde where they sell and offer samples of their product. Costa Rica has 2 main export products: Coffee and Bananas.
We had lunch at Stella’s Café and continued our Spanish language classes as usual in the afternoon.
Meanwhile at home, Allan is planning the birthday party that will be held on Friday night for Helen (who will be 28 years old). He showed me his party list and there were 37 persons to be invited. He is trying to decide whether to have the party at a restaurant instead of their house! We heard tonight on the news that a tornado went thru Manual Antonio last night. Several trees were down, cars were crushed, and houses destroyed…..
Otherwise; a successful end to day 20 in Costa Rica.
