It's not just coffee!

Good morning campers! This is Bruce from Colorado a 14 year barista on our second to last night in Costa Rica and after two weeks of working hard on the farm we have grown quite attached to the farmers and people of Costa Rica. They have welcomed us in to their homes and families and we all feel a bit sad about leaving here on Sunday.

The sense of community we have found here is something that you don't see back home very much. Their devotion to each other and coffee, which is their lives, is incredible and their connection to the earth. Hopefully we can ignite some of their passion for coffee and their country back home.

I would encourage anyone reading this to check out the Earthwatch website and check out any possibilities to get involved in other volunteer projects because it is an adventure, this experience will change you. Hopefully we all get a chance to visit Costa Rica again soon.

Thanks and good night!
