I found out what that funny fruit is. I asked a local today who spoke a splash of English and made him write it down for me. It has many names...depending on where you come from. Here's the wiki entry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamoncillo
OH MY GOODNESS! I ate so many of those while I was in Mexico I grew to loath them. At first I thought they were good and told my host mom I liked them so she proceeded to feed them to me several times a day, everyday the entire time I was in Mexico! I grew to hate them with a passion. She called them guaya.
It feels like I've lived everywhere and could live anywhere. I've moved almost constantly the past 8 years. Most recently my husband Caleb and I lived in Tulum, Mexico for a year. I started volunteering at the children's home, Hogar Infantil in Chiapas during this time and it is the most fulfilling thing I've ever done.
