We had a good training session in Santiago,in the northern part of the country. On our way home we passed a couple of trucks LOADED with bananas. After about the third or fourth truck, we got our our camera and started taking pictures of some of the trucks we passed. That is one big banana split!!
 |
| Cabbage |
Some of the loads were easier to recognize than others. We had to get close to this truck to see the cabbage peeking out of the crates. The trucks really carry tall loads!
 |
| Rice |
A lot of the rice is shipped in 120 or 200 bound bags! A lot of the rice fields were being harvested as we drove through that part of the countryside.
eggplant |
| I didn't know there were that many people that like eggplant! We passed several trucks loaded with the same thing. |
 |
| Carrots |
The carrots are huge and really sweet. They taste as good as the carrots fresh from a garden back home. One carrot is enought for part of a meal.
 |
| Peppers |
The red, yellow and orange peppers here are some of the sweetest we have ever tasted. We guess a smaller truck is used for peppers because they are a lot more fragile. We also passed trucks carrying huge loads of potatoes or onions but they were so covered up that you could hardly see what they had. A LOT of produce was heading to market!
eggplant...funny!
