The first three weeks of my stay at Manu Ciao it was only Sany and me living in the dormitory. Then more people arrived and we ended up as a huge family.
There were plenty of work to do in and around the house: Construction, painting, working with mosaics, cleaning, gardening, animal care, computer work and washing the laundry.
Alexandra and Manuel are friends of Sany and they live in Cartago, a town in the mountains not far from San Jose. They belong to a family of eleven siblings. Mum and dad are still alive!

Adam from London had been travelling in Asia before he came to us.
Julia from Germany had planned only one week stay but since she became the new squirrel mummy she desided to stay longer. Juliet and I became very good friends š
One day Manu made a juice of this strange, white and stickiness fruit.
The Guanabana smells like fath but tastes like heaven and grows in the jungle of Central America. This fruit happens to kill cancer up to 10 000 times more effectively than chemotherapy drugs without damaging any healthy cells. The licence for this product is not accepted due to its enormus healing effects on the body and danger of loss of profits for the farmaceutical industry. Please look it up on internet!
Its easy to be a vegan or vegetarian. Here are some of the food in our kitchen: Chayote, yuca, papaya, carambola and quequisque.
Papaya is sweet and hearty.
We had an outdoor kitchen and we shared food and drinks. At nights we made dinner together.
Before I started working with mosaics I had tiled a few bathrooms in Norway some years ago.
Putting together small pieces of crushed tiles to shapes and patterns was a new experience for me. This work was fun! I ve got so many new ideas about things I want to make when I get home again.
I spent almost five weeks in Manu Ciao and the last night we all went out to a vegan resturant in Porto Viejo. Farewell my friends! Some of you I now I will meet again!ššš
