The tortillas were made and the coffee roasted. Now we were off to the 600 square foot Butterfly Conservatory on the FEV property.
The Conservatory is magical for visitors and is also used to teach local children about the lifecycle of the butterfly. I thoroughly enjoyed it but my daughters would probably freak out…they aren’t big on any flying insects.
The foliage that surrounds us every waking moment is magical, as if we have arrived in a fantasy world. Everywhere I look there are flowers more beautiful and unusual than the last.
Beehive Ginger (micrófono in Spanish) is a spectacular plant. The plant can grow 6 to 8 foot tall, beginning yellow in color, and turning red as they age, particularly if they are exposed to sunlight.
I was in awe looking at the Hydrangeas, thinking back to the white Hydrangeas that graced the tables at daughter Megan’s wedding.
A busy afternoon and we were ready for dinner. Spaghetti was on the menu, topped with a boiled egg, complimented by a glass of Tribu Merlot from Argentina. I am curious about the egg on top of Spaghetti. My web search has been futile so my theory is an egg adds protein to an otherwise carb-rich meal. I call it Spaghetti Nic Style.
The sun was down, the woodstove burning hot, and my head was ready to rest on my pillow in Tucan Lodge.
Buenas Noches. Hasta Manana.
