Baby Bananas




















Our next stop was Costa Rica and the city of Puerto Limon. Many of the houses were poor and our walk around the central square left us a bit concerned however, our excursion by bus to a river into the rain forest to a banana plantation and on the old railroad was fantastic. Our guides everywhere on our trips were excellent and this young lady was no exception. She is showing what baby bananas look like. Next time you buy bananas that are Dole, Del Monte or Chiquita and they are from Costa Rica, they may be from the plantation we visited.
