Juice

There are several definite luxuries about being in the location that we are.  My favorite for the time being is the fruit.  There are lots of small restaurants around where we live that in addition to selling shawarma and other Middle Eastern, Pakistani, Indian fair and the assortment of burgers (not hamburgers), they sell the most delicious juices I've ever had.  Sweet Melon (honey dew) was the first we ever tried.  It is made from milk and honey dew melon.  That's all.  The next we tried was Lemon Mint.  This juice is deep green from how much mint is in it, just to take the edge off the fresh lemon.  Julie's current favorite is Kiwi.  The juice is only made with Kiwis,  no water or sugar are added.  There were probably at least a dozen kiwis in the large drink that she got today.  It tastes like you put a straw into a kiwi and drink everything in it, and then start with your next one.  It is utterly and completely refreshing.

Julie and I have also tried to eat at least one pomegranate a day.  Its form varies from putting it in smoothies, in couscous, or just mixed with kiwi and eaten straight out of a bowl.  So while vegetables and lots of other food is about the same price at home, there are some great deals on fruit here.
