Another comment about guatemalan elections and fruit



Here is another strange southern fruit: Anona or Custard Apple. Marvelous flavor somewhere between pear & pineapple to my taste buds.

Today I learned why there was so much more violence (not that there isn´t way too much on a daily basis) before last week´s election. Apparently robbery is the method most practiced to finance candidates. Today we bought fresh passion fruit on the roadside. You remove the top (Like my dad used to do with an upright boiled egg) and then slurp out the seeds: muy saborosa! Blended with water, the fruit makes a nice refreshing drink.
