coffee galore





did you know that this is actually what a coffee tree looks like. and inside those berry looking things (which you can eat and they taste rather sweet, but odd) are the actual coffee beans that are...













...white, as kristi is showing us, right.

















first, one must gather/pick the beans off the trees in basket, looking much like this (actually this is the basket that was attached to my stomach













here are the beans, drying, after they are picked and shelled by a super neat shelling machine!

















and here you have me, with my cool british hat and legit basket, pickin' coffee beans





















amy and her legit basket tied to her waist









































my prosper! yeah!


















going down the mountain the sun looked amazing!















and then the sunset on the way back to San Salvador...i loved the cloud line and the mountains right here












epic...absolutely epic

















i'll just let the pictures speak for themselves since words really can't justly describe how amazing it was





































and then the sun rise in the morning as we got up to go to the airport




















amy, hannah, me and cheyanne at around 5:00am. yeah we look good!





alright, that is the last you will hear of El Salvador (in theory). sorry it has taken me so long to get this done. hope you enjoyed all the pictures!
