After a busy morning with the local children, we were ready to sit, eat and share stories of our busy, busy morning. Again, the FEV cooking staff did not disappoint.

The afternoon ahead included coffee picking. (My June 12 post will address my Nicaragua coffee experience). Our hostess discovered a red eyed tree frog near the dining room. I didn’t kiss it (no prince needed at this time), but I did hold it. So colorful and amazing!

The grounds of Finca Esperanza Verde have beautiful flowers everywhere. This day a large white orchid was blooming, for one day only, and graced our table in the dining room.

After the coffee hike, it was time to eat again…oh shoot! (I jest). Even in the small, efficient kitchen of FEV, the cooking staff got creative. I love, in the photo below, the presentation of the sliced squash with melted cheese to resemble a cooked egg. Makes me smile to look at it again!
Final Dinner at FEV
Tomorrow morning we will say good-bye to the wonderful staff of Finca Esperanza Verde and continue our adventure in San Ramon with local hosts.
