Picture Sunday: 2nd Edition

I can't believe it's the middle of June already. This coming Tuesday will mark my 3rd week in Costa Rica. Classes are going well but the homework load can be quite overwhelming; we have a lot to accomplish in 2 months. That said, we still have many opportunities to explore Costa Rica.

Here's a glimpse of what I've been up to...

 Tour of Earth University's banana farm

 Day at the beach near Puerto Limón

Tour of a cacao farm and chocolate making facilities that included a chocolate tasting session. I tried several interesting combinations like chocolate and curry spice. Apparently chocolate and garlic make a good combination.

The view from the chocolate tasting lounge
Museo de Los Niños in San Jose (the building was originally used as a prison but was converted into a children's museum)

Train exhibit at the museum

Tamale wrapped in banana leaves

and maduro con queso (plantain with cheese) for lunch

I have tried many strange fruits including this one
