Great Day - Our guide, Gerardo, was fantastic. He was informative, pleasant, friendly, helpful, prompt - everything one could ask for in a guide. He spoke beautiful English and helped my husband with his Spanish. The tour of Doka Estate was a wonderful and informative primer on coffee - how it's grown & processed. Grecia is lovely, the Metal Church is beautiful. And, at Sarchi we saw the 90+ year old factory which is still in pretty decent working order. Large variety of souvenirs at the store, too. All in all, it was a really fun day.
