A vendor sells me "ice apples" on Christmas morning 2009 in the Stabroek Market area, Georgetown, Guyana, South America. The apples are the familiar fruit grown in temperate climates (Malus domestica) and are called "ice apples" because of the refigerated condition in which they are transported. Apparently, before the days of modern refrigeration, they were packed in ice for shipping. This is the fruit that Guyanese most associate with Christmas.

This is the last of the photos in the Auroville series. Though I have many more, I will post them in later in the general sequence.
Anyone who travels to Pondicherry from Chennai cannot but fall in love with the East Coast Road. It is one of the most beautiful and scenic roads is India. Runs just along the bay of bengal coast on the east. You have small villages, farms, salt plains along the other side.
Every five kms you have people selling tender coconuts or iceapples which help beat the heat. Unlike many Indian roads, it has a great surface and no potholes whatsoever.
However, most highways in India unlike the west, let regular traffic share the space with cattle, lumbering trucks, happy-go-lucky cyclists and more-money-less-brains motorists. So the drive is scenic, adventurous and pretty much an enjoyable part of the trip.
