Too Many Clementines!

About a month ago, I wrote a short blog entry about the kilo of clementines one can purchase for 300 pesos, $0.60US. Many kilos later, the novelty was just beginning to wear off. I hadn't bought any in a week or so... until today, when my citrus world turned upside down all over again. Walking past the market on my way to the bus terminal (I'm going to Bolivia soon, by the way!), I saw 2 kilos of clementines for 250 pesos. That's a kilo of fresh sweet amazing healthy fruit for $0.24US! Most of the other stalls in the market had similarly lowered prices. It seems that just now are we entering the true season peak, and just now is my amazement fully justified.
