'Little Colourful Things in Life'
A colourful fruit stand on the side of a grey road catches my attention. Its colourful appearance brings a thought of a fire burning and I almost feel a sense of heat. Enough attraction to make a tired rider stop and take a longer look at this mirage surrounded by white skies.
I park by the stand. It seems that there is no citrus fruit missing from the display. Lemons, oranges, clementines, mandarins. The whole array of varieties is right here in front of me. Even though there is the valley of Neretva river, a place where they grow on large areas, I believe that some of it must be imported.
The lady working at the stand is kind enough to show all that they have. She is smiling and doesn't mind standing in the cold for long hours. People stop occasionally and buy a bag or two of delicious sun-grown oranges that are full of vitamins and taste really good. I cunningly ask which are imported but she declines and says it's all from Croatia. Even the bags with almonds. Nice to know! Guess I got to buy some before I leave.
A jumbo-sized pomegranate. I really love it. When visiting Istanbul a few years back, I saw many street vendors squeezing the juice out of them and serving it instantly. I immediately noted that as awesome idea. My favourite juice, without any doubt. It would be a great business opportunity to start doing that here if one could easily get a street food vendor licence, what's not the case in this business depraved country.
Dried fig is an ancient delicacy, still very much enjoyed today.
Among all sorts of nuts, there is also home-made olive oil. Don't want to come off braggy but southern Croatian home-made pesticide free olive oil quality outranks anything you can find in your local supermarket. I've travelled a lot and never found a match. But to be completely transparent, I'm not saying that the Greek and Italian home-made olive oils cannot fairly compete... :D
I tell the lady to wave for the blog but she surrenders, instead. Must be my biker helmet. :D
Little things, guys, little things. Like a piece of fruit. This is what life really consists of.
Enjoy your day! :-)
