Hi Steemians!
Hi @dswigle and all Steemians! This week I'm posting some photos of of a different market clearly more delicious than the one of last week (https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@nolasco/553amp-marketfriday-initiated-by-dswigle) MarketFriday.
Today I'm showing you one of the most beautiful fruits of the planet, the rambutan. Oh the rambutans! They are gorgeous, juicy and deliciously tropical.
These were being sold by a street vendor near Borobudur temple, one of the larger Buddhist temples of the world, located near Yogyakarta, in Indonesia. Just have a look to this precious piece of architecture:
We were there to visit at sunrise, as the sunrises are famous when viewed from the temple, as you can see by this photo:
So, when we were walking back to the hotel, we saw the narrow streets at the village full of rambutan trees with thousands of fruits, and people were selling them by the sidewalks.
But, you know? Suddenly coming from nowhere a lady came to offer us some rambutans for free. They were even more delicious! We will never forget this gesture! Indonesian people are so nice and kind, specially the one from the villages and from the mountains!
Here I am with two lovely girls saying cheers to you from Borobudur!
Have a great Friday, my friends!

Wow! What a wonderful post this is, Isabel! Thank you so much! You have made this an awesome #MarketFriday by sharing a piece of culture that is foreign to so many people.
I have never heard of this fruit, but, now, I am going to look for one in one my markets that carries exotic fruit.
Happy that you find such nice people along the way. Thank you for the time you took to put it together and I am appreciative that you took me on this stroll!
Have a wonderful weekend!! Upvoted and Resteemed
