Cantaloupe

I bought a cantaloupe yesterday at the fruit shop, first one for months. They became too expensive for me during winter, reaching $7 or $8 each. I noticed they were $4.99 yesterday so I took one home as a special treat. I cut it up after my walk today and ate a good whack of it chopped up on my muesli. Man it was good! I store the rest of it in the fridge in a large snap tight plastic container and it will last me 4/5 days. Soon, as the weather warms and the season progresses they'll be cheaper and I'll eat cantaloupe everyday. I love it.
My cantaloupe habit began in 2005. On our way to Peru we stopped in Santiago Chile for two days and one night. We stayed at the Fundador Hotel in the city centre and breakfast was an extravagant buffet style with any amount of fresh fruit. The same applied throughout Peru, breakfast included loads of fruit and cantaloupe was my favourite. When we came home it was cheap in the fruit shops and eating it at breakfast reminded me of our wonderful trip. Still does.
