Avocados

Also known as: palta (most popular name here), aguacate, butter pear or alligator pear.
They have lots of vitamins, good fats and oils, and they are absolutely delicious!

We have a ton in our house right now, including some new, very interesting types...


These are known as baco grande




palta hass




and palta fuerte




They are all so beautiful and tasty---especially palta hass! Not only that, but they are CHEAP. Here you can get around 10 avocados for about 1 American dollar!
It is going to be really tough returning to the United States and having to pay almost 2 dollars for ONE!
I guess I will just have to eat three everyday while I'm here---oh wait, I already do.
