Mangoes in the Park
Daniel's health-conscious brother, Nelson, is compelling us to walk every evening. This is good for us, but I want to walk in the day (to get sun), but they want to walk at night (because it's cooler). I really don't care when we walk since the prize for walking is "aqua de coco"--coconut water!
As we walked around Saturday evening, Daniel started showing me all the mango trees in the park. One of them was close enough that we could pick a mango off. I was so excited to pull off my own mango. I don't really care that it wasn't yet ripe--the important thing to me was that I picked my own mango!
It is Spring time here (not winter, as I previously reported) and many fruits are in season--mangoes, cashews, and avocadoes-- to name a few. Their avocadoes are HUGE! I can't wait to taste one. Sunday, we went to a restaurant that was in the middle of nowhere on a little red dirt road. That's where I saw the avocado tree.
