La Feria







I put in some pictures of la feria last week, but here is the "haul" from last week's trip. It's a farmer's market on Saturdays at a local park here and fun for all of us. As our Spanish improves, so will our bargaining skills, I'm sure, but we got all of that for around $10. The bananas are sold by the banana and not by the kilo, and they are around 20 bananas for $1. Not bad, huh! They're more expensive in the grocery store.

The funny fruit (we call it "furry fruit") is grape-like. You peel off the spiky skin and eat the fruit, which is around a large seed. Grapes here are really expensive, so this is our substitute.
