La Palta

Went to the corner shop and bought and Avocado today. It was a Propal avocado "Palta" en Chile and this is the company that I interned for in Chile for 6 months. It brought an immediate smile to my face! One, for knowing that this is the season for Chilean avocados and that Super Bowl Sunday generates insane revenue for Avocado exports from Chile and two because I am part of this global industry and it is pretty to cool to think that I may very well have walked the exact avocado grove in Chile that this avocado that I am going to eat tomorrow for lunch came from! And I bought I it from a tiny Market on the corner of my block, the world is sometimes more connected than it appears.
