Todos Tranquillo

Hellllloooo everybody. Thought I´d put up some more pictures for you. ¡Salud! Downtown San Jose. Pidgeon heaven.

Jeff and I have a new favorite bar. The Cantina-- about a two kilometer walk from the farm. This place along with a very small convenience store are the only two establishments here in Mastatal.

Another day of hard work.
Jeff is in the upper right hand corner of this picture, on the limb of a tree that dangles above a waterfall.
See that strip of leather to Jeff´s right? Damn right that´s a machete. And thats a coconut grown on our farm that we brought down to The Cantina. Before we put in the floor...
...And after we put in the floor. It took all of Monday and even a little bit of overtime to complete-- but hey, it´s done. That´s Javier, the farm owner.
This is basically what we ate every meal. Beans, rice, potatoes, and salad. Sometimes, we were treated to a small patty of home-raised beef.

Cut these off the tree myself. Javier´s niece is watching Jeff paint the new sign that he´ll post by the front gate.
Finito.
Costa Rican sun-set. Todo Tranquillo.
Javier´s re-painting the refrigerator.
The dining room. Everything at the farm is outside.
Mario and Lucielle, Javier´s wife´s parents, live on the farm in this Cabaña.
