Harvest time

Yesterday, we left the comforts of the city (well ... ), drove 2.5 hours on very winding roads to Coatepec Harinas (I hope I got the name right?) to harvest PEACHES. Well, at least all of us like peaches so that was a big incentive for the girls and it was a lot of fun. Gare, our lovely Spanish teacher, invited us to her father's peach plantation. There was also an impressive tomato and chili farm, but the big draw were the peaches. The girls spent at least an hour looking for 'amarillo' peaches and yes, many peaches went straight into their mouths as well!

The girls couldn't wait to harvest!


How pretty!


Haha, harvesters complete with the hats!


Sera knew to pluck the deep orange ones but ...


like Yassy, they don't eat tomatoes unless in a sauce!
