I had read that South America has more fruits than we in England have names for and at the market I had the opportunity to see and taste some of them.

I tasted; Orito, Tuna (a fruit not a fish), Uvilla, Granadilla, Naranjilla, Taxo and Tree tomatoes. Aside from the Tree Tomato which I didn't particularly like, the fruits were delicious and so cheap - getting your five-a-day in Ecuador is easy!
After school and the customary glass of post study wine, Abs and I made a vegetable and quinoa soup/casserole which we shared with Steve who we met at the hostel a few days ago, he kindly donated a bottle of red and some Taxo for pudding.
So, by my calculation, with the seven fruits I tasted, the five I bought for Abs and the nine vegetables in the soup we're on about 21 a day!
Last day of school today - early start tomorrow as we're climbing Cotapaxi before heading to the jungle on Sunday night.
