Finca de Bella

We went to Finca de Bella today which in English is the beautiful farm.  It was sooo pretty and everything there he made himself which, Dad, made me think of you and our old basement in Ohio.  I'll put up a picture of part of his outdoor patio but I also took a video but it's taking way too long to upload.  But it's definitely not all of it.  He said he's not done yet and adding on stone on the floor and everything.  He's had family parties and stuff there.  But anyways he's a 54 year old man who is AMAZINGLY in shape with tons and tons of medals from racing it's ridiculous.  And by amazingly I don't mean like dang that guys attractive but I mean like he's really in shape for a 54 year old.  He has 4 kids and one of them is in his 20's and lives in Boston with a wife, two kids and another on the way.  He gave us a tour of his portion of the farm which is HUGE! He said he keeps a mental note of everything there is growing and I can't imagine remembering all of that.  A lot of the things on his farm are coffee trees which are pretty cool.  He explained to us with all of the different stages the seed goes through with examples and everything.   

Here are some of the pictures of the coffee.  They both are actually coffee but the one on the right is a close up of the coffee bean before it looks like a coffee bean.

We also ended up walking there which was up this huge hill that was all gravel... I was dying by the time we got up there.  And when I say gravel I don't mean crumble like rocks... they're rocks that are like the size of your fist.  The guy from the farm, Hilber (if that's how you spell it), ran up to the highest point of Costa Rica and I can't imagine running on that gravel.

At lunch I had Starfruit juice! Which was really cool because I remember me and my sister begging my mom to buy us some from H-mart all the time.  It was actually really good too.  It's cool because every meal on campus has a different juice with it.  We've had orange juice, lime juice, passion fruit juice, and a lot more that I just can't remember right now.

It's crazy because everyday it's been raining but when you're out in the rain you can barely tell because the rain falls so lightly so you don't get drenched.  But it's sooo windy here that it almost sounds like there's a storm going on outside but in reality it's just the wind.  When we were in class today the ceiling is medal and started raining but it was actually a little harder than the past few days and we were literally screaming across the room having a discussion.

The girls in the picture are from my class.  The one on the left is Lauren and she's going to be a junior next year at UGA and the one on the right is in grad school and she's 24.  She's a pre-school teacher and her name is Kara.  She graduated from West Georgia but does grad school at UGA.

And I know my mom is probably disappointed to here this but I didn't end up milking the cows this morning at 6 AM... I woke up with a huge migraine so I slept a little longer but they go every week so I still have some more opportunities!! But I finally uploaded the pictures from yesterday so the one of the caterpillar and me holding the snake are up!
