The market reminded me a lot of the markets in Puerto Vallarta (if you ever been). I had mango, like I mentioned. The other people in my group had some interesting fruits: sour sop, passion fruit, cashew fruit, etc. Passion fruit looked like a really smooth pear. I really had no idea passion fruit was actually a fruit..... Even though it has fruit in its name. I always just thought it was a flavor.... Dumb. So we had fun finding out how Costa Rican people include fruit in their diets. AND we got to eat some of the fruit!!!!! Yummy! They had lychee (which is my favorite fruit), although it tastes different than the ones I'm used to (that I get in Singapore). I love fruits, btw.
Tomorrow we head out on our frist field trip. We're gonna drive/hike across most of Costa Rica. If you want to know, we're going to Cerro de la Muerte, Sierpe, San pedrillo, Isla del Cano, Playa Hermosa, Carara, Palo Verde, Santa Rosa, Rincon de la Vieja, and we'll end up in Monteverde. Go check up a map of Costa Rica!! This sounds super fun! We do have quite a bit of homework (some of which is due tomorrow), so I better get going!
I won't have my laptop with me for the two-week field trip, so adios until then.
you're going to costa rica just to eat and sight see?! when do you actually do vet stuff?
