The colors of market...


Some delicious........well......you know what we really dont know what they were. Except that they looked and tasted yummy !


Amazing Papayas !

Cilantro at its finest

Plantains






Lots and lots of Bananas





August 15th is Mothers Day in CR.....lots of flowers for sale at all the markets around this day

Awesome Fruit drinks !

We got fresh Avocados. We are loving the Guacamole !

My first trip to market and I am in Love . The smells and sounds took me back to Pennsylvania to Green Dragon Farmers Market .However there was much more colorful fruit and many things that we had never seen before and still dont know what they are . We had a list of things to get to stock our house for a while . We were able to find almost everything on our list and most things are reasonably priced .
    We walked approx. 30 minutes to get to the market , got all our goods , then paid a taxi 1300 Colones($2.60 American) to bring us back home . It was a great family outing and we look forward to many more in our time here

  1. Wow! I don't think we'll be finding papayas like that around here this year, hahaha! Those pancake-like treats in the first picture - did you eat them plain or do they come with some sort of topping? Terrific post - we look forward to following along this year!
