We went to the central park of town, and it was filled with families enjoying the surroundings, playing, and eating.
We went to the fruit mercado where I tried a NEW fruit. It looked like a small, round golden cherry and had a distinct tropical fruity flavor. We didn't buy any today but will go back for some- more details in a future post. The new fruit experience didn't end there! We tried a soursop (guanábana).
It's a member of the cherimoya family and v delish! The ladies at our hotel prepared it the traditional way for us- deseeded and blended with water for a creamy, frothy drink!
We visited a lane of quaint shops with artwork and my favorite, clothes! Didn't buy anything today but a dress from the vanilla town of Papantla caught my eye :) We stopped for a bit and each drank 2 glasses of fresh squeezed o.j.
I LOVE it here! The transition hasn't been easy but we are making strides in the right direction. After a week of hunting, we found a lovely house with a salmon colored exterior to rent. Three bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths- perfect for our needs. We move in on the 21st, I am v excited!!
We will be busy furniture shopping the next few days. There is a nice offering of rustic, colonial style furniture to choose from. Fun, fun!!
