When we first arrived, we were offered home baked
corn bread and hot coffee. This is a picture of the local woman
does the wonderful cooking at the Finca.

After a 2 1/2 hour hike, this FEAST was waiting for
us. If you did not hike at all and just went for the food, it would
be worthwhile.
Fresh tortillas....yummmeeee |
This is Cookie, an 8 month old pup who has the run of the Finca,
although after his hike he really did enjoy the nice warm fire.
Guess who wanted to bring Cookie home?

Really, I'm happy to be here - really (even though
there is no beer)!!!! |
|
Before we did anything - still when we were all
cozy and dry..
|
 |
 |
Getting ready for the hike. Lisa is inspecting (and
supervising) the troops! |
|
We were quite a sight - even Mario wanted a picture
of this bunch.
|
 |
 |
Off we went with parkas and walking sticks..... |
|
over the hills...
|
 |
 |
...and through the woods...
|
 |
|
|
This is Mario, standing on the root-ball of a fallen
tree (100 year old oak). The tree had fallen away from our direction
(behind Mario). The root-ball was quickly over grown. |
 |
Lisa decided to stay back (read - take a nap) and not hike
- so she had everything nice a cozy for us when we returned.
We woke her up.

This is just some of the flora inside the Finca.
|
 |
|
On top of the mountain (Mount Mario), where we
have our lookout point, called "mirador."

|
Just a few of the many flowers we saw inside
the Finca
