ReplyDeleteSo wild that you mention this company. My husband just came back from Peru and brought some of their choc covered coffee beans with him as well as some chocolate covered dried lucuma. They were all wonderful. I bet their coffee is outstanding. I need to start thinking!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! Costa Rica has climbed up my travel list this year. My husband will have to go there for work in a month or two, but I'm not sure if I'll get to go or not. We'll see.
We have a friend that has a place in Costa Rica and she loves it. We hear it's incredible there. What a fun give away. I better get busy.
