Yesterday, we went to a coffee farm and took a tour. We tasted the coffee they processed which was very good. The first thing we saw was an organic fish farm. On the lunch menu there was an option of eating the whole fish, which were the ones we saw. The lunch we ate was really good. After, our tour guide David showed us how to make coffee with a sock looking bag and a carved piece of wood. We drunk the coffee that was made and it was really good. Only one of us didn’t (you can guess who). Later on we took a tour of the processing plant and this too was very interesting. We got on the bus and went to a community project, women’s cooperative where they make soaps, lotions, and hair products to sell. It smelled really good.
Today we met at the school at 7am again and painted. We began painting the fence we cleaned yesterday and also primed the basketball court. It took a long time but after two hours we ran out of paint. We will continue tomorrow. In the afternoon we went for lunch and some of us milked cows. Then we walked to a really big waterfall (think Waipio). On the walk back we swam in the river. Some of us in jeans! Right now we are at a roadside café and are getting refrescos before heading to our homestays for another night.
