Lunch out with Grammy and Grampy in Sarchi, Costa Rica

After settling in to our new vacation rental for the month of December and putting up the tree, we head out with my parents to do a little exploring, visit a coffee farm and go out to lunch in the closest town on the other side of the mountain, Sarchi.  Well, as usual, it takes us longer to find the coffee plantation than was suggested and so we just have a great drive and great late lunch.  Here are some photos of our fun afternoon.
