About this blog....

Our family is on a six month adventure in Costa Rica. Before leaving, our friends, the Cox family, gave us a precious gift... a photo scavenger hunt of things for us to discover and experience in Costa Rica. This is our account of how the scavenger hunt is going.... along with other pictures and thoughts about our time in Costa Rica.

A new market and #58 eating Sapodilla

Our neighbors invited us to spend the weekend with them last week at their home in the mountains. On the way we stopped to check out this market, it is way bigger than our small street market. 
We were really surprised to see turtle eggs for sale, although we had learned that the government does give out a certain number of permits for harvesting turtle eggs. After our experience with the leatherback sea turtle and all we have learned about the slim chances for survival of these turtles, we were sad to see turtle eggs here (although we don't know what kind of turtle eggs they were.)The price for a dozen is $3.

We were able to try #58 on our scavenger hunt... a really delicious fruit called sapodilla.
