This is one of the 60 species of bananas grown in Costa Rica. I was infomred by Pablo (the botanist) that is is Musa sp., commmonly called a slyvestre. The small bananas here are very sweet - much nicer than the oneswe commonly get in the US. I am also really likiing the green platanos - they are a starchy vegetable that when fried lightly is quite tasty.

The adventure begins - dissolusioned with the USA, a 49 year old unfettered American woman is looking for a new home...
In April of 2005, I sold my house and most of my possessions, and decided to look around for a while to see what else there is for me in this life. Previously a fine artist, a web and graphic designer, I did seven years as a corporate project manager designing internet tools. Caught between unfulfillment, and disturbed by the direction my country of birth is taking, I'm seeking a life more harmonious with my values - living simply in a warm climate, more sustainably and gently on the planet.
