pears and more pears

So I am currently making pear and guava wine..we'll see how that experiment goes. So far when I take the bucket lid off it smells like wine. :) The pears here are more like the Asian pears in the States (crisp and not as fragrant). The guava though has a nice smell, right now it just smells like fruit. The funny thing is in swahili pears are pears and guava is mapera...it almost sounds the same when you are at the soko (market). I remember when I first got to site I mixed the two up..when asking for pears I got guava. We shall see as weeks pass on. This is my first time making wine at site, no initiative till now.
