@Sharlene: I will definately check out the shearing day. Alpacas are definately interesting animals. And yes, we all say the L in almond… that’s why its there!

@Amy: I tried to replicate that mango on a stick at home. A shishkabob skewer is too weak, so I went with a chopstick. The kids laughed and refused to eat it. COME ON!! It was delicious just a few days ago. Just go with it! Fine, more for me.

Almonds aren’t a nut?! I had no idea. And here I thought I was supposed to be enlightening you about food. What’s most important, however is that you got to jump in a “vat of walnuts and ate mango on a stick with lemon juice.” Hello. Me want.

Well… I am sorry the almond festival wasn’t all that you expected. Is that anew one? I don’t remember it. One thing I will recommend in that area is going to West Valley Alpacas for shearing day. Its lots of fun. I think it is sometime near April. If you have any interest, look up West Vally Alpacas online. I didn’t know almonds were stone fruit but it does kinda make sense. They look like the seeds of stone fruit in alot of ways…. Was everyone pronouncing almond with out the “l” while you were there?

I love adventures gone wrong — or at least, gone differently than expected. The journey is the best part, isn’t it? Looks like you learned a lot and have a fun mango memory worth sharing!

Ah, the serendipity of the journey. My favorite aspect of travel.

(rummaging in refrigerator for mango now…)
