Oh, that sounds so good!

I will be so excited to get back to the land of good RIPE fruit! Can
you say apricots, and maybe even the rare Blenheim apricot? I will be
far enough south, so I might get a chance of seeing some. I am gonna
make the journey to the Santa Monica farmers market one day, and I
think there is a vendor there that does have them. I may be wrong on
this, but I think they are one of the late apricot varieties.

Oh, and peaches!

I wish some of you were near enough to where I am going to be for 3
months... I can see some great fruit in my future and maybe even some
good baking!

Speaking of the that general area, does anyone know what is available
around there? I know Basque food is in that region. But I don't
know much else..
