Bananas
I am forever ruined when it comes to bananas. Until 2 and half years ago, when we arrived in Mozambique I had never really tasted a banana. The bananas I had were always picked green and then shipped from Central or South America to North America. But when I arrived in Moz, I tasted bananas that had been ripened on the tree. Nothing compares to that taste. Now, being in Johannesburg, I am again eating bananas that are picked far before they are ripe and they, after knowning the real flavor, have little taste. I doubt when our term in Mozambique is over, that I will be able to buy bananas again in the States! That's a whole reason in itself for our extending our term until 2010!

That sounds like a great perk of staying to me!
Hey Jenny, your post reminded me of a song my grandfather would sing: "yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today..."Any way,I know what you mean about the taste. I hope all is well with you, baby and Joel.
