Resting and Mangos

After Kevin left Alex and I had a week’s respite before some of his friends came to visit. On Saturday we went with Jose and his family to Costa Esmeralda an hour outside Panama City. We spent some time at the beach, and ate tamarindo directly off the tree- so good.

Speaking of eating fruits off trees, mangos are finally in season here. Alex hasn’t stopped talking about mangos since we arrived (which was right after mango season ended, to his chagrin). There are mango trees all over the city, and the first fruits are finally turning orange and red. You can buy a bag of about 10 mangos for $1 on the street (in the US, one mango usually costs close to a dollar). So our lives are now mango-filled and that will doubtless continue until our departure.
