java java java.

This past weekend, Mark, Sam, Thayer, Francesca, and myself made our way over to Jocotenango to catch our first coffee plantation tour! About 20 minutes away from NPH is the stunning, green location. With a heavy rainy season, Guatemala has ideal settings for coffee growing. It is no surprise, therefore, that it is the 9th largest producing country in the world! We arrived to find horseback riding lessons, a bouncy house, and a multitude of museums to take advantage of. My favorite part was definitely the coffee tour. It was so interesting to see the amount of work that is put into making even just a pot's worth of coffee. Of course at the end of our tour, we were able to sample the finca's coffee. Boy, was it bien rico!
