fruit




December brought some delicious fruit - watermelon, pineapple, papayas, and mangoes to name a few.

 The fruit you may not know in the photo above is the grey baobab fruit.  It has a hard shell but is light in weight - comparable to a dried gourd.
I had no idea what to expect when I broke it open with a hammer...



 But I ate a whole half right away.

I tastes like tamarind, but is completely dry and melt-in-your-mouth chalky.

You suck on the white part and spit out the fibers and seeds.








 Enjoying mangoes. 


"I'm home in Burkina at last!"


Ca c'est bon.


I ate...how many?
