Yesterday VERY early in the morning (630am) I went with another expat and his mother in law to an incredible Costa Rican farmers market in Santa Ana (just north of Escazu where we live). This market is held every Sunday and is about 2-3 blocks in length packed with stalls on both sides of the street. The selection was incredible and the prices unheard of inexpensive. For the equivalent of $20, I bought 8 ears of sweet corn, medium clump of romaine lettuce, bunch of radishes, 3 large mangos, 3 pounds of bananas, a pound of strawberries, (but wait! There's more!)...a pound of green beans, 2 cucumbers, carrots, cantelope, a pound of small potatoes, 2 large tomatoes and a large bunch of rosemary. Basically enough fruits and vegatables for the better part of a week for a family of 4. I filled a large carry bag and still had a smaller bag on my arm full too. The weather was a little chilly as the wind was blowing. It was probably 60-65 degrees but sunny. I think this will now be our early morning Sunday habit. :)
