Coffee Tree Fertilizing

Today we got to help out with fertilizing the coffee trees. Marlene has 3 farms that needed fertilizing so we went with Wilbur and picked up the fertilizer in the van and then headed out to the farm. It was so beautiful! We helped finish the remaining 2 farms today. It can get pretty heavy carrying that all around! 










Bridges, Lizards, & Birthdays

Hey! Sorry I haven't updated the blog in a while! We have been working on a few online projects so I have been neglecting updating the blog but here is a little of what's been going on. 


Huge iguana and his wife came to watch us eat breakfast while we were in Quepos at Hotel Verde Mar. Quite a thing, and Omar the cook gave us a show by feeding them some lettuce. Really cool! But I did keep my distance :)


A few weeks ago we were in Chilamate leaving on a Monday morning after having a wonderful weekend with Rosmy, Eladio, Don Simion & Dona Beatrize. When we got to the bus station we saw the only route we could take (without waiting almost 2 hours) was one that went on the route Vara Blancas. That was fine with us since we eventually would get to San Jose. This route passes by the La Paz waterfalls which we visited while we were here in April. It's a really pretty place. However, probably 2-3 hours after we passed by the waterfall on the bus, the waterfall flooded and collapsed the bridge! (yes, the one we just passed by on 2-3 hours before) We couldn't believe how lucky we were to not have been on it while it collapsed but also to be past before it collapsed or it would have been a huge delay! It was pretty big news around here! Scary!



Happy 5th Birthday to Siany! 


Some quick peanut butter "frosting" had this cake looking pretty cute :) 


Pedro, Rosa, & Siany


Last weekend we were in La Fortuna to spend some time with Marjorie one of our church friends. Her husband works in geothermal electricity near one of the volcanoes. He gave us a small tour of the volcanoes and the area where he works. The water was boiling hot coming out of the ground! Amazing! 



Heiner, Marjorie, and us :)
