Lunch on the Hacienda

After we left the volcano, our bus took us to eat lunch at a beautiful Hacienda where lush flowers grew and birds and butterflys were in abundance. We got a true taste of Costa Rican beauty from this view point.

The air was heavenly up on this mountain and the team felt rather spoiled eatting so well before our week had even begun.



This ox cart is a common symbol of Costa Rican life where fruit, vegetable, and flower vendors display their goods.
Can you spot me in this huge mixture of flowers and green plants?
Yes, you are seeing a ♥ HEART shaped flower that was hanging from a vine right next to the table where we ate! AGAIN, one more heart ♥ to add to our delight and confirm the theme for our VBS plans:) (I like to think that the black center of this heart flower ♥ is rather symbolic too = our need for Christ to be in the center of our sinful hearts)
