This is a beautiful plant that grows naturally throughout Jarabacoa, but especially at the coffee farm.
Banana trees are everywhere and I love their big leaves! They are quite exquisite I must say! 
These are 2 girls that live with us at Maria's house. They are both granddaughters of Maria, on the left is Denise (5) and on the right is Mariella (10). They are beautiful little girls and think b/c we are North Americans that we are fascinating! It's kinda fun!
This is Maria's living room and kitchen area. This is where we eat breakfast and dinner and hang out with the family.
