Tropical Fruits


We are in Zihuatenajo and are enjoying the tropical fruits that we can get at the market. The bowl contains mangoes, limes, bananas, guavas, avocados and tomatoes, missing are pineapples, papayas and watermelon. The bananas are unlike any you have ever eaten in Canada, they are so sweet, it is unbelievable.


Here is a guy up on a fence harvesting mangoes. They are fresh off the tree when we buy them and ripe, dripping with goodness when we cut them open. Often breakfast underway is half a papaya each, we just scoop the seeds overboard and then dig out the fruit with a spoon. 


Besides fruit there are beautiful flowers in abundance. We arrived on Easter Sumday and there were gorgeous bouquets in all the flower stalls.  
The winds look good for heading further north tomorrow, there may be some following flow, if not at least it will not blowing on our nose. I think our next stop will be Barra dear Navidad where we are hoping "ze French bakuer" is still plying his trade. He has a boat and comes around every morning selling fresh baked goodies. After 10 years my mouth still waters when I think of his baguettes and his almond croissants
