Melons

I am realizing that there are many types of melons. Many of them are much much better than what I have normally had and called a melon. Of course summer is a perfect time for  trying  some new and strange types. There are plenty of them in the market now. We had "Crenshaw" melon which looks like a cantaloupe, but it is much softer and more delicate and overall much better than the traditional cantaloupe. We also had "Casaba" and "Canary" melons which were great. on the hot summer day. However,  I still did not find the one I had in Madrid last June. That melon was dark green on the outside and light green in the inside,  and surprisingly sweet. I saw "Piel del Sapo" which looked very similar, but had quite a different taste. I need to try different variety at the market and keep looking. I may find it one day, but I also discovered that I like these new melons much better than honeydew or cantaloupe, so I'll be eating them until the end of the summer!
