Colombia: children, fruit & vallenato


a hill in the subburbs of santa marta


Tree used as a DIY electricity pole/street lamp.


with a lightswitch


Colombian kids from the neighbourhood
Josmelie (on the right) was amused that there were so many fruit that i hadnt heard and listed many many fruit to me to see which ones i know.


every couple of minutes the two year old would repeat a word.. very cute.



Tomate de arbol ( tree-tomato, or tomato from a tree)
this sweet fruit is not a tomato in any way. has nothing whatsoever in common with a tomato apart from the name, even the color of them is normally orange, its just a coincidence that this one was rather red.


"Playa de pescadores" (fishermans beach), Taganga in the background..


"Lulo"
here carolina presents another new fruit! quite bitter, not my favourite.
those must be fake

This song is playing everywhere these days. it is "vallenato" music of colombia
