A Guatemalan Family Farm

After our visit to the Regional Hospital in Cuilapa yesterday, we were all invited to the farm home of Brother and Sister Pitri outside of Cuilapa.  They have a small, but nice, home on property on a mountainside.  We drove up an unimproved dirt road for a few miles to reach their property.  It was fascinating seeing how they live.  They get all their water from collected rain water, purify their drinking water by setting clear water jugs out in the sun, and grow a variety of tropical fruits and plants:  mango, limes, mandarin limes (didn't even know they exist--they are the color of mandarin oranges inside, but taste just like regular limes), lemons, oranges, guanabana, maracuyá, bananas of various varieties, including purple ones, plátanos, another fruit like a plátano whose name I can't recall, nuts, coffee, and many more.  They live in a tropical paradise!  We had a nice lunch and visited with these wonderful people.  It was enjoyable and interesting.
