M is for Mangos

We have mangos, lots and lots of mangos! Today Charlie helped me pick mangos off our tree. We knew they were turning ripe soon. The bats got a few of them already. We are determined to not let them get most of the mangos like last year. We learned that you have to be careful to not touch the sap from the steam because it's very acidic and it will burn through your skin. These mangos will have to sit a couple of days before we cut them. I can't wait. They are going to be so sweet and yummy!




Did I mention fruit in Okinawa is very expensive. Walking in the store today I spotted this sign: 5 mangos for about $80. We spend way too much money on fruits and vegitables. We are broke trying to stay healthy.
