One of the wonderful things about staying here at Lada is the great market in town every Monday! It is kind of a fair like atmosphere each Monday morning with so many stalls of people selling fresh produce, fresh meat, cooked food, clothes, shoes, and whatever else one might need. We have to get there early in the morning in order to get enough meat...the best cuts are bought first!
Then we fill Steve's back pack several times with fruit and vegetables!! A variety of bananas, mangoes, pineapple, and local fruit. The pineapple was in season for a couple months and so inexpensive! We made so many things with pineapple! Pineapple upside down cake, pancakes with pineapple, and of course lots of fruit salad with all the fruit!

Vegetables are plentiful as well! Tomatoes, a variety of peppers, squash, eggplant, potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and avocados. We enjoy seeing the variety of produce that comes and goes with the seasons. Avocados are now in season and are so inexpensive. We love homemade guacamole.

So many of the foods we enjoyed at home we have to make by hand here. A little time consuming, but we enjoy them even more that way!
