This Saturday I went to the market in downtown Heredia with my friend Ulli. We chose the market because it was raining and we didn't have umbrellas with us, so instead of light streaming in you need to picture things much darker and rain dripping in from various sections of the roof.
We had quite an adventure though. I took advantage of the fruit and vegetable stands to go over some vocab with her (I'm helping her learn Spanish). Trying to learn and distinguish guava, guayaba and guanábana is a challenge, but I think we both finally have them down. We walked quickly through the parts of the market that have nasty meat set out-the kind that could never pass FDA standards and makes you want to be a vegetarian. We did stop to share a HUGE, yummy handmade cheesy tortilla though. We met a really nice family there too. What a great way to spend a rainy Saturday in Costa Rica- delicious food, great company and language/culture learning!Blessings on you this week!
Love,
Carrie
