This is Minor, our guide and teacher of all it takes to raise the best quality coffee in the world. Once planted, it takes 7 years before the coffee beans are ready to harvest. The higher the altitude, the better the quality. We hiked up a good ways and planted our own little coffee plants. This beautiful site is just a few minutes outside Santa Ana but straight up the mountainside.
Ducks in the backyard at the house of the owners at the plantation. They also grow corn, onions, garlic, lemons and flowers. They had bags of coffee for sale cheap (none for me, thank you) at about 3-4.00 a bag. The same size bag imported to the US sells for 100.00!
I forgot my hat but brought my sunglass. It was hot in the sun but the rain came and cooled things off as it does pretty much every day. It is "winter" here now so the rainy season has arrived. The other sunglass was in my bag, just popped out and I couldn't find it fast enough to not get left behind so just went with one.
