Today we had our second day of language classes. This consisted of waking up at 7 o'clock to a 35 degree apartment. Christy made banana pancakes, I had coffee, and Cole tried to stay warm in front of our tiny portable propane heater. There is no insulation in our concrete building but the landlord did put curtains up to keep the heat in. Eventually we'll probably burn them for warmth. After breakfast was ready we woke up Anna and enjoyed the beautiful view of Cusco and the Sacred Valley.
After our morning session of classes (from 9 to 11) we stopped by the bakery to get some French bread for later and croissants for the kids. Then we went to the local market and bought some new fruit to have for a fruit salad for dinner. This is what is looked like whole:
And here is a photo of it peeled:
The dark green fruits were very good and soft with large black seeds (Christy compared the taste to cotton candy). The orange-looking fruit is very light and you eat the seeds (Cole said it looks like monkey brains). We also had pineapple, mango, pomegranate, grapes, and mandarins in the salad.
It was also a big day for Cole since he got his own soccer ball:
Tomorrow we have field trips for school: Christy and Aaron and going to a local market and the kids are going to the zoo. As always, we're considering purchasing more sweaters and hats to keep warm.
I love fresh fruits! I think the green with big seed is custard fruit. We have different type in Thailand but looks similar. I agree with Cole, the orange fruit does look like brain ;)
