Coffee Park

We had a great time today at the coffee park (Paul is writing)! It was an absolutely beautiful site! I would definitely recommend you to go if you are down here. They had coffee crops, bananas, pineapple, oranges, etc. When you first get to the park you are on top of a mountain basically, and you overlook the whole park. Very beautiful scenic view! At the top you get on a ski lift car that takes you down to the actual park. They had a live show which was great. They did native dancing and kind of a history of coffee in Colombia. After that we rode rides and looked around at all the different crops. It was really hot again today so we were pretty well worn out by the time were left the park. The coffee park is about an hour to an hour and a half away from El Cortijo. I can’t say enogh good things about our new friend, Jose. He has been and excellent guide for us while we have been here. He is so patient especially with the girls. Vanesa talked today from the moment she got out of bed until we got back to the hotel. Most of the talking was directed at Jose. Jose…Jose Jose Jose Jose…… I think he got tired of hearing his name. He acted like he didn’t mind though.
As for mealtime today, the girls did great. They ate everything in site. No arguments or fights! That was good!
Vanesa is really starting to get interested in English too. I worked with her for quite a while tonight. She would ask… how do you say this….and she would point at something……chair, table, elbow, cup, water, etc. We are glad to see she is wanting to learn so eagerly!
Tonight Chris and I had a major sweet tooth!! So Chris went downstairs to ask the ladies who work here if they had any goodies (Of course the girls were sound to sleep by this point). They didn’t so they called somebody and had some brownies delivered to us! How cool is that. We told them not to, but they insisted. So our chocolate craving is cured for the night.
Good Night!
