Buscando guayaba ando yo...

This morning I had blueberries and peaches for breakfast. That was pretty awesome; I felt like I was in a magazine or something, they were so pretty!

And, as many things do these days, it reminded me of Costa Rica... they have so much fruit! And everywhere "frescos" are served, which are these fruit drinks. I would ask, "oh what are those flavors?" after they listed them, and sometimes I would get an answer ("Mora" is blackberry, for example). But, what's "cas"? Well, there's no English translation, but I'll try it. (I'd put anything in my mouth, right?) And it's a fruit. C-A-S. Haven't you heard of it? (I even googled it and couldn't find an image!) And there's a bunch of fruits like that.

I learned that "guayaba" is guava though, and I think I've heard of that before...

Anyways, they serve "frescos" throughout much of the continent, so this isn't some great revalation on my part... but man! Imagine how much healthier we would all be if we exchanged our cokes for those things...

Most of them were REALLY good-- even if I had NO FREAKING IDEA what I was drinking... And they were locally made... so much for not drinking the water! Oh well, I'm alive and healthy, more or less...
