Lisa spends a lot of time here marveling at the fruit trees. The first time she went to Spain and saw oranges growing on trees was a bizarre experience for her. Although she obviously had knowledge of where the fruit came from - to see them actually growing there for anyone to pick was kind of like an epiphany... "Wow - oranges actually DO grow on trees!"
As we were walking through the garden of another property on Eastern Road - the gardener handed us a bunch of bananas that he had just cut down from the banana tree.
And they do taste different, richer, sweeter and more... tropical.

How amazing to be able to eat bananas fresh from the tree! Your sunny post has cheered me up. We have woken up to a layer of snow this morning!
You cannot beat truly fresh bananas... they look delicious... take care
I have spent the last few days wallowing in your blog - I am so jealous, I'm actually turning green:) The thought of just packing up and moving to that view with your gorgeous house .... Incredible! I do not envy you the Bahamian way of getting things done, but on the pros and cons list, it must weigh out against all the wonderful things you get to experience. Have a marvelous time and please continue to post pictures - I'm living vicariously (and getting warmth) through you! Enjoy!
Lisa, Mark and Emily
Just wanted to say HI. Love the bit about the bananas. Raining here, so I really wish I was at the water's edge eating fresh bananas!
Murphy's starts tonight (all night games this season). I'll let you know how we do.

I suggest regular walks past this neighbour's house...bananas look great!
We have friends living in Brazil and they always comment on the tastelessness of the fruit available in stores up here. (Of course, Canada can't grow much for variety, so everything but apples, pears, peaches, and oranges are 100% imported ~ and those 4 are imported for much of the year as well.)
