Here in the rural communities of the Ecuadorian highlands, there are trucks which pass through selling anything from fruit to potatoes to shoes to fish. This afternoon we heard the fruit truck approaching and went in front of the house to meet it. Craig was telling Sonam about the last time we purchased fruit from a passing truck. Abuelita couldn't find her money, so Craig offered to pay $1 for her fruit. She did not want any part of it and protested vocally in Kichwa. But Rosa talked her down and she eventually relented. The same scenario played out today, and Craig paid for her fruit once again. Sonam and I said that we would have to protect Craig from her. She's tiny but strong, and could probably take him! - DSC03728
