After the ministry in the local fruit shop

Lots and lots of fresh fruit here; Mily is sitting next to some freshly harvested bananas and we are buying a few of them after a day in the ministry. 

Now it's not the cheapest; however we now found out why this is the case.
Most stuff is actually bought at a wholesale in town and only a few things is from his/her own land... and this is just one way they try to make a living here... they don't have much of a choice :(
Life is not "pura vida" here at all.

The second photo of that brown lump is a type of sugar.  My most capable wife cooks something super yummy by mixing this with fresh coconut and then it becomes some type of paste that we put in our bread etc.
The closest thing I can liken it to is a bounty bar where you take the white thing from the inside and mix it with brown sugar & then burn it slightly.

One thing is sure though. ...  its fantastically tasty :-)
