Bad Banana Farm_2

Justin, Troy, Matt and I all went up to the farm for what we thought was going to be a very rainy weekend. After our Jeep slid down the hill to the house thankfully steering clear of the house and Justin's truck slid into the side of the hill (probably due to the rut we made in the mud) we all sat around one of Matt's upside down fires and listen to the rain pour. The next day the sun was shinning and we hiked down to The River that Justin was keeping a secret ;-) It was amazing I know now why Troy is bitter! Anyway we had another fabulous time and will miss it dearly. When we got back to the house Paul and John Paul came up to visit and kept us very entertained.

Matt harvested his first banana and plantain trees. Justin gave him his official plantain stain to mark the occasion. The bananas took a few days to ripen and they were delicious, the banana bread I made with them was the best I've ever tasted. Our neighbors Milton and Rebbecca took the plantains and made us the most amazing monfongo with garlic and chicken. By the time we realized we should have taken a picture it was almost all gone!
