thanks for all the info on the mangos and mangosteens. enjoy them while you are there! It sounds like things are busy with all that you have to do. Thanks for keeping us updated. We love you! your family
be careful. it sounds like possibly with those fruits you can live forever with nothing wrong with you. i mean... if all of those benefits are true.
hey! i dunno how, but i got to your blog, it's really cool
but I couldn't stop myself for making a comment about this entry specifically:
the mango and mangosteens, they're fruits you can find in mexico. mangos (which are the yellow-orange-green ones) can be found almost anywhere, but mangosteens the last thing i heard is that hey are only on the Yucatan peninsula (which is just awesome!).
so don't worry, if you ever to back to america, you can make a not-so-long trip here to mexico and enjoy these fruits :)
btw! i love what you're doing for a living! i hope that once i finish college i can do that sort of stuff :)
quite an inspiration for me tee hee :D
cheers!
