We left very early this morning, headed to the countryside. We visited another coffee plantation today (CoopaDota), but we were able to tour the processing facilities at this one. We donned hard hats and toured the entire plant. It was so interesting to learn about the entire coffee production process. I will never complain about the price of coffee now that I know what is required to get it to the stores. There is a cafe at the production facility and we all enjoyed various coffee drinks. They had a special drink just for the upcoming "holidays" so I tried that one and it was delicious. To the people of Costa Rica, Easter is a holiday as significant as Christmas. The children are out of school for a week and they have parties, parades, etc.
We had lunch as a Costa Rican home. Two ladies provided the lunch, served on a covered patio in their backyard. It is "summer" all year in Costa Rica, but it is not hot. It was very pleasant under the eucalyptus trees with a cool breeze blowing. After lunch we visited a small family-owned business that produces honey products, a beautiful catholic church and then back to the hotel. We're tired tonight, so we had a quick dinner.
