As the title indicates I love coffee. I know I don't talk about coffee much, but as my friends and loved ones will attest, I love coffee.
That love of coffee is now being rewarded. I have won a trip.....not just any trip. Starbucks was told me I am the winner of a two week trip to Costa Rica, where I will be working with the Earthwatch Institute.

The project is about sustainable growth of coffee with the farmers of Coope Tarrazu. I will be in the field assisting with research which will help farmers produce better coffee crops and cultivate the land in a more economically friendly manner.
I am so excited about this. I was called last week, and had to be cleared by work and the doctor to do it. From a work stand point it means I use up my vacation, but oooooh...this will be worth it.
Because the region is hilly, I am going to have to crank up the working out portion of my routines. I know I have the stamina, but this will require strength as well.
Think I can bring some coffee home?
