I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Cocoanuts

We went on a tour today to see some neighborhoods around San Jose. We started off at a farmer's market. Many areas host one on Saturdays and the fruits and vegetables were fresh and looked beautiful and the prices were very good.

Lots of strange looking items that are local or seasonal.

Muchos huevos, many eggs...

I got a coconut for a whopping $.60 and enjoyed the sweet milk.

Next stop was a mini Spanish lesson where we learned the names of many of the fruits we had seen at the market. Our profesor, Wagner, was a hoot and a really good teacher. Best of all, we got to sample all the fruits.

For lunch we went to a special chicken place where they rotissiere the whole chickens over wood from coffee plants. It was so tender and juicy with a nice, aromatic flavor.
