Jaime's Farm






My cousin Jaime, mentioned in last post, is an incredibly colorful character, as well as a very warm and friendly person.  He is the oldes of a family of 6 siblings, and inherited and has significantly enhanced his family farm.  Speaking of "enhanced", one of the tools of his trade is his jeep, shown above.  Custom transmission, who knows how many horsepower, 200watt speakers, fire engine siren - it's a sight to behold and the ride of a lifetime.

Jaime took us on a tour of his farm, which has 8000 plaintain trees and 180,000 coffee plants.  It was an amazing experience.
