Angie,
Good job. I thought that you would do well on this one. I will give you 5 points for the ones that do not have the names in English. You get 70 points.
Katrina,
Good job. You get 95 points. The 11 here we call them guineos. They are very sweet. Have you tried them?
I thought no. 3 were Lychees? Or are they the ones with smooth skin?
#3 – Lychee
#4 – Avocado
#6 – Pomegranate
#7 – Persimmon
#8 – Pumello (spelling?)
#9 – Guava
#10 – some kind of melon
#11 – gosh, I should know what those are called. They’re not plantains. Plantains are bigger.
And since those are my guesses … without consulting the internet or other commenters … I don’t have the Spanish or a website.
But that’s what I got.
