Day two update

Dear whoever reads this,

After documenting a coffee cupping training program for local NGOs and coffee farmers we embarked on a 3.5 hour drive up to ECHOs seed bank. Noi, one of the people with us from ECHO is an amazing cook who made me red ant and larva soup. It was amazing. She along with Rebecca and Patrick took me to a local market where we had deep fried sweet potato and sticky rice. The food is amazing. We got to ECHOs seed bank late in the day and had a great dinner with everyone who lives at the seed bank. They treat me as family. They told me I am not a tourist. It made me feel at home. They gave me a room in one of their houses and I can't wait to photograph again tomorrow. Today was a great day which ended with the greatest sunset I've ever seen. From the fog and the huge sun it was something nothing but your eyes could capture. iPhones and cameras just don't do justice. I can't believe I ate ant and larva soup. The food in this country is so good. Unexplainable. Truly blessed. 

Good night y'all. 

Thanks for reading!
