Macadamia Nut Finca
Another school activity took us to a macadamia "finca" (farm or plantation) a few minutes away from Antigua. After a very crowded but thankfully short chicken bus ride, we arrived at the Valhalla finca, where we were shown around by a friendly guide and treated to some delicious samples. And of course encouraged to buy some of their products... apparently macadamia nuts are good for just about everything, from healthy eating to skin care, up to and including working miracles on disabled people (according to the testimony hanging on the wall)! Matt and I, however, decided to stick with enjoying them slightly roasted and salted!
