The Sweetest Things


Gifts from patients have to be one of the sweetest things about life here, especially when it is Pitahaya. This strange looking fruit is a little intimidating at first, but once you are brave enough to cut in, you won't ever look back.... unless it is to see if there is more. The inside is full of little black seeds. You just scoop it out with a spoon and dive into heaven. It tastes like the sweetest kiwi you have ever eaten.... Seriously, pitahaya is reason enough to visit Ecuador. This has been a great week for us, we received plums, pitahaya and pears all in the same week- no need to go to the fruit market- plus we got to share with our neighbors!
