guinep

a couple of weeks ago, when we went to chinson‘s for take away, there was a kid selling guineps – i had no idea what it was. i always get so curious for new and local flavours, so we bought a bag.

it tastes deliciously like a lychee, but with a more citric flavour – yummm!

guinep, spanish lime or mamoncillo!

i did have a hard time remembering the name, but finally did some research on it, this is what i found out.

happy weekend

what a great week, the weather has been just perfect.

we spent some time with friends, who came over to visit from new york – went out for dinner a couple of nights, luckily the evenings were beautiful.

oh boy, it’s so nice to have close friends over and how interesting it is to see our friends’ point of view of the island (more on this soon!).

happy weekend!!
