Another colleague’s lunch today. :) Sweet peppers from the garden stuffed with rice & vegetables, a favorite among many of us and makes me think of the stuffed peppers I grew up with. Also, #watermelon. #Yum! (at Budeşti)
Celebration in Albania
“I took this photo in Ukraine during the winter of 2013. Everyday this women would set up her little stand along the road and sell her fruits and vegetables. Outdoor markets are very common in Ukraine, even during the bitter cold days of winter. For many, shopping for food is a daily occurrence.”
“On the island of St.Lucia it is very common to find vendors, farmers and shop owners both on the streets of the capital and in tiny alcoves of communities. Dozens of women sit under tents or umbrellas in the Caribbean sun selling everything from fresh bakes (fried dough), hair ribbons, bath products or Lucian sweets. One of the most common local treats is a “tamarind ball”. In this photo, taken during the last semester at my School (June 2014) before summer, one of my third grade students is holding a tamarind ball that he made himself. That day the entire class, along with myself and my co-teacher, collected tamarind and made tamarind balls to exhibit the importance of following step by step instructions. We also used this activity to highlight the concept of sequencing which served very well as this was a hands on experience, literally. All over the room the children’s hands were filled with sugar from rolling the fresh tamarind to form the balls and took them home in tiny bags.”

My colleague’s lunch today! Buckwheat & sausages, but we’re not sure which animal the sausages are made from. Also, bread & a big, fresh, juicy tomato! From her #HostFamily’s garden!
Buckwheat seems pretty common and my host family has told me a funny popular story/joke about it. Call/Skype me sometime and I’ll tell you the story!

“This picture was taken on Wednesday, March 19th, 2014, in Guatemala, on the village’s celebration of its Patron Saint José. Here are Catholics parading around the town with the saint held high.”
“This photo was taken in Ecuador during the Tsáchila tribe’s New Year celebration on March 28, 2013. This photo depicts three young girls dressed up in traditional clothing and their grandfather who has his hair traditionally painted with achiote (annato) seeds. The girls were waiting for the men to prepare their traditional instruments so they could perform their dance.”
