Banana Market

I finally had the free time to get some long awaited pictures of the banana market a few days ago.  While this isn't the only place to get bananas here, it is one if the largest places dedicated to the sale of the worlds most famous fruit; a whole city block of pisang (banana).  You can find about any type of banana here.

These bunches of bananas were just offloaded from a truck.  They are ready to sell now, and no doubt some will still be around when the ripen to a yellow color.

Tucked in with all the banana vendors is this melon emporium.  It is easy to spot since it doesn't exactly fit in with the nearby produce.  If a watermelon isn't what you are after, maybe a papaya hanging from the rafters is what will wet your whistle.  Rebecca and I have a very healthy papaya tree in our back yard but we always give them away when they are ready for picking.  We don't like them.  Becca thinks they taste like sweaty feet!

Yum - bananas!

Our favorite way to eat papaya around here is chilled with a sprinkling of lime juice. Since you don't have to pay for your papayas, you might try it sometime, and if you still don't like it, you haven't lost anything!
