We went to eat dinner with Milena and her family one evening this week. Milena has been doing pedicures for me while in Costa Rica, and over time we've gotten to know each other. One time she brought her mother-in-law along while doing my pedicure, and they invited us to come to their house for dinner. What an honor to be invited to a Tico family's house for dinner and a visit. Her father-in-law gave us a tour of his farm, where he grows heart of palm, yuca, and coffee. He dug some yuca up on the spot and gave it to us, and on the way out the road, we stopped at some friends of the family to watch them gather rosy water apples from a couple trees. We walked away with a big bundle of these unusual fruits as well.
