We started with a tour of a Lutheran church built in the 1800's by Germans. It was simple and functional and interesting and beautiful. The walk from the church to the coffee farm was somewhat uphill on a dirt lane. Be prepared if it's a hot, dry day. The coffee farmer took us around his farm and educated us on every step involved in coffee farming. We hiked down a path through trees that was uneven. Well worth it but be prepared for a hike. We passed several villagers' homes to arrive at a beautiful home of a Scandinavian woman and her African husband where we were served a family-style lunch of delicious local dishes. It was way more than any of us could eat. We were able to buy coffee and handmade items. It was a great way to learn and see the local culture.
