Coffee tour and Santa Fe.

Today we woke up to Liam's regular "Rise and Grind!!". We got on the bus to go to a tour about how real coffee is made but before that we got breakfast. The group stopped at an open restaurant which was actually really good. We went throughout the 4 hour tour and learned that the three highest coffee producers are Brazil, Vietnam, and Colombia. We also learned that Peru has the best quality of coffee in the world. Carlos our tour guide made us  pick coffee beans and taught us how real coffee is made and the coffee in the US is a lower quality and made to be addictive to make profit. Coffee in Colombia is healthy because it has many antioxidants. After dressing up in the typical Colombian coffee workers gear and trying coffee and listening to the full process.  He ranted about how coffee is the best thing in the world for two hours, and how the US has the most stomach cancer likely due to diet. We then went to the pool, the temperature was refreshing and we had fun playing in the water and soccer for a couple of hours. We then visited a small town named Santa Fe De Antioquia, we had ice cream and walked around taking pictures.  We left to on our two hour ride back home. When we thought our day couldn't get more eventful, we got home to our trash can completely scattered all around the floor. We quickly came to the conclusion that the neighbors dog must have intruded the house through the basements door being wide open and black fur on the ground. We finished cleaning and randomly started telling haunted stories to scare one another. as soon as the last story was told. Ms Gomez walked downstairs and noticed the washing machine broke and leaked soapy water all over the floor making us more scared. Tomorrow is our last day in Medellin, plans are to ride on funiculares (similiar to a lift when skiing) to see the city from above and do a graffiti tour. Lastly, we will meet up at a mall to play arcade games with Ninos del Sol and say our farewells.  Packing will then happen and our driver will pick us to head airport Tuesday early. .
