A mile down the road from Andre's, where the dirt road becomes tarmac, we tried a local delicacy - un granizado. It's a cup half-filled with milk powder, topped with shaved ice and a gooey flavor of your choice. I picked root beer though I didn't know that until I tasted it. You let it slowly melt and mix together. They give you a spoon and a straw so you can attack from above and below. Very sweet!
We sat on a bench eating and chatting with the vendor and his family. He gave me the names of some of the local birds who were in a tree above. The little one had quite a mug, it took Jean a bit of time to get a smile out of her. Last night we bought her some jelly beans which we'll drop off on our way out today.
