Costa Rica Day #2

Brigitte and Alex here! Coming to you live from Costa Rica. No weather problems, except torrential downpours and thunder and lightning…
In other news, this morning, we woke up and had our first typical breakfast consisting of rice and beans with a ham and cheese omelet, OJ, bread and weird jelly and butter. After, we all went to a traditional Costa Rican church service, ALL IN SPANISH, mind you (We didn’t understand anything). We could feel God’s presence even though we didn’t understand the language. Alex says: “worship was pretty awesome cause it was pretty awesome!” (video below)
After church, we changed and went to a “local eatery” and it was bomb.com. After our epic lunch we went on a coffee tour and learned about how they make coffee through an amazing performance of costumes on wheels and marriages. We learned about the structure of coffee beans and the process of making coffee properly. Alex and Jess even got to participate in said process! The tour would have been outside if it wasn’t for the weather… But we got sweet souvenirs!
Following the coffee tour we went a local restaurant and had the best food ever! I, Brigitte, had chicken and rice and beans and horchata and Alex had FISH and rice and beans and a mango smoothie. It was tastier than it sounds.
Now we are sitting in Casa de Franco (our hotel)meet and then waiting to play quiddler and possibly the good, the bad and the ugly.
Costa Rica is sweet. It’s really humid and there is lots of greenery but it’s definitely different from my expectations, I like how there’s not as many stray dogs as Tijuana (saves me a lot of tears), but it’s still pretty underdeveloped… I really like it here and I already have my first bug bite, let’s hope I don’t get some crazy Costa Rican disease that makes me crazy.
Alex really enjoys the Costa Rican cuisine (omnoms) and is really excited to go zip lining and to hang with the kids at the Abraham Project.
Day two of the Costa Rica Mission Trip was a success and we are really looking forward to the rest of our time here. More blogs coming soon!
Love,
Brigitte & Alex & the team
