Monte Verde, Costa Rica and Arcoirises


The old fashioned way of hauling in coffee beans from the field--except this time hauling boys.



















Coffee beans, fresh from the shell


We have experienced a cloud forest--a tropical rainforest in the mountains. It was beautiful, and much colder than we were used to. We were told we were on the continental divide and receiving rain from the Caribbean side and sun from the Pacific side. Along with the rain and sun came the most beautiful rainbows I have ever seen. We could see where they touched the ground on both sides, we were above them in some cases, overlooking valleys, and we even saw several double rainbows. What an awesome Creator we have to have made rainbows, called arcoirises in espaƱol!
