Finca Fidencio

Finally got to experience the gorgeous Central-Nicaraguan countryside.  It was a great escape from the dense city in central Esteli.  Fidencio, from our hall, invited us to check out this farm hes got up in the mountains.  Here are some pictures from our little trip.

A fifteen to twenty minute drive up into the mountains brought us to this awesome view...

The mountain and I

Taboada

The big man Jordan Gomez saying, "Someday, all of this will be yours."

Interestingly, the wilderness in the mountains reminded me a lot of home with the pine trees and all... except for those aloe-looking plants

After the sight-seeing, Fidencio drove us to his farm

He had a whole variety of things he was growing, such as: Figs, Avocado, Coffee, Banana, and more...

It was really cool to see the source of where all this fresh Nicaraguan coffee comes from.  This is a coffee plant.  The best coffee comes from all these farms way up in the mountains.

The farm starts low, and you walk up a pathway all the way to the top.  

And at the end of the day, we sat down and had some coffee, while Fidencio was asking us bible questions
