Day 10


It’s hard to believe that we only have one day left of counting coffee beans together. I started my day by “smelling my socks to see which ones were the freshest to wear”, getting a little thin on clean socks. Today was beautiful, no rain in the morning, and it stayed dry while we were out on the coffee farms. Everyone was in a light mood with lots of playing around once we were finished counting beans, taking shade measurements and soil samples.

The banana fight was the best, there is nothing better then smashing a banana in your hand and throwing it in hopes that it makes it make on your target. A few people ended up with banana down their shirts, and smashed on their backs. It was all fun until the smell; nothing smells more then rotten smashed bananas, and wet socks, "yummy".

On day ten we had dinner with all the farmers and their families, Ingrid put together an awesome slid show using pictures that all of us had taken over the past ten day. The slid show really hit home to all of us why we were in Costa Rica and the bond that we formed with the Famers and their families, and as a team.
