Costa Rica Day 7

We had the best, relaxing day today!

We all started out with breakfast at Soda La Macha, which was absolutely delicious! Rice, beans, fried cheese, plantain, and avocado. What else could you want for breakfast?!

See how pretty it was?! There was a hanging bridge to cross on the way in too.

Mom at breakfast. She got the short chair. :) 

After breakfast, Ken took us to the Forestal Coffee Tour, where we got to see coffee plants, plant some coffee beans, learn about the roasting process, and FINALLY taste a few different roasts. That was fun! And tasty.

 There were other fun plants at the coffee farm- do you know about rainbow eucalyptus? If not, look them up. The colors can be unbelievable!

The 5th or 6th rainbow eucalyptus we've seen since we got here. Amazing!

And then there was this weird plant that looks like a small pumpkin, but has the texture of a tomato, but tastes.... different... with a hint of kumquat. 

Pitanga, aka Brazilian Cherry

After that, we stopped at a gift shop, and then headed back to our house to play some card games with Doris and Ken. It was nice to sit and relax for a bit! We ended the day with dinner and desert at Gingerbread, which was a nice restaurant that had a cat and a dog for Laenea and I to pet. :) And, the food there was incredible. 

Tomorrow, we head to la Playa de Coco! Can't wait for Beach Day!!!
