Summin' Up Sunday!

WHAT A DAY! We met at Breakfast, enjoyed everything from fresh fruit, beans and rice, pancakes (yes, Madison actually tasted her first), rice and beans, omelets, beans and rice, sausage...did I mention rice and beans? Then set off to milk cows & make cheese with a family in Juanilama de Poco Sol. The family welcomed us into their home as though we were a world cup team visiting! We didn't witness the process we DID IT! These students started off timid and apprehensive and about 15 minutes in were laughing (at themselves!) and bonding with the family.

Following the cheese making we toured a pinapple field and learned about the local organic farming process, tasted the "fruits" of their labor and were all shocked and in awe about the amount of work and time it takes for a crop of 40,000 organic pinapples to begin in Costa Rica and end up in our United, Albertsons, Ralphs, Safeway...you name the store, we can always find the flavor of Costa Rica when we return...and we've all seen it's well worth the money!
