Lost in Translation, Dos Pinos, and Distracting Ticos

Wake up time. I actually woke up before the alarm went off. I guess we had what you would call an early start. For breakfast we had eggs, bread, rice & beans (no me gusta el beans).

Any way, after we had our meal we headed off to the Dos Pinos company, which in Spanish means two pines. Dos pinos is a dary cooperative, a group of farmers that all own a company. We had a brief tour of the plant, and we got to meet the Dos Pinos mascot, Lula, who was very entertaining. After that we conducted a free trade interview with representatives of Dos Pinos.

One highlight of the trip was waving to Costa Ricans.  Once a man was so distracted by our group that ran into a stop sign while he was waving back.

Well it is our group meeting time!  Talk to you soon.
