So!  i am on a coffee plantation.  i wake up at 5.30 (3.30am for all you in the northwest) and start my day pulling out huge coffee plants and end the 6-7 hour day pulling out coffee plants.  i am going to be soo strong and tan after this month.  it's really hard though.  i work with one of the spanish speaking workers all day long.  one of us throws a chain around the base of the trunk and tightens it and the other (usually me) cranks this lever/pulley thing until the chain pulls the plant out of the ground.  some are easy and some are very hard.  it's a good bicep workout for sure!

the cabin that i am staying in has two bedrooms, i kitchen/dining area and i bathroom.  it's only wayne and me right now so we each get our own rooms, but tomorrow (saturday)  two girls are coming in and we have to share a room sleeping on bunk beds.  wayne and i are like college students.  we don't really know what to eat.  we are not very good cooks, so hopefully these two girls coming to stay are master chefs.  wayne kind of knows how to cook beans, i am learning... we're a work in progress.  we are strong bodies on the farm though.  each day around 9, is breakfast our wwoof-hostess (frank) makes us breakfast which is always rice and beans and squash.  sometimes we have tomatoes, which is a treat.  but nothing to special.  i bought some eggs and bread, and wayne bought some milk, so we made french toast the other night.  with a little peanut butter and honey, it was quite the treat!  i am posting some of the pictures i took of the house.  pretty fancy stuff.
