Franco's. This is where we stayed this past week as we worked with The Abraham Project. Franco's home which has been in his family since the early 1920's, used to be a coffee plantation. To keep it restored and money coming in, Franco has turned his family home, where he grew up into a bed and breakfast. Franco told us that he can sleep up to 60 at a time and even though his dining area will comforably sit 30, he will feed in shifts! He loves entertaining, and works hard to make his guests comfortable. He has but two rules: #1. Keep the front gate locked. It is important to Franco to keep his guests safe. #2. Stay out of his kitchen. He is a professional cook and his kitchen is his throne. Folks like to gather in a kitchen and chat, while he would love this, he would never get any work done, so we respectively honored Franco in his wishes.
Breakfast and dinner at Franco's. For the two meals a day we ate at Franco's, he always had warm, fresh bread, rice, beans, and as much fruit as you could eat. Franco, like most Costa Ricans, is passionate about his coffee. He will serve coffee at breakfast but if you want it any other time of day, you must give him notice. Because as he put it: "I don't fix gas station coffee!"
Here we are with Franco. Franco was a pleasure to meet and we look forward to seeing him at least once a year..when we go with a team to share Jesus with Costa Rica
