The coffee fields just outside of our gates. The coffee beans are growing fast now that the rains are in full swing. All of the hillsides surrounding our village are filled with coffee plants in all states of growth as well as maize. We tried to roast maize last weekend and it looks like corn and smells like corn, but it is definitely not the sweet corn we are used too in the states. We boiled it for 20 minutes before we put on the grill to soften it up and it still tasted like hard, chewey, nasty deer corn. :) The staff loved it though, so we donated it to them.
