Bananas are good for you

One of the pleasures of being on Tinian is the opportunity to have fresh fruit. We have a banana tree just outside our window where we live. Nancy, the Filipino who runs the hotel where we live, began harvesting some of the bananas off this tree, and gave them to people staying at the hotel. One can also find lots of mangos and papaya, bread fruit (just like Mutiny on the Bounty!), among other things.

I really like the little bananas! They are sweeter than the larger ones, and are a better size for use on cereal, in bread, and for snacks, etc...Life can be so tough here...
