Just wanted to leave all of you a note on bananas. They are not supposed to be as big as they are in the US.
While it might be nice to have big bananas, there is certainly an argument to be made that they should be sized the way they occur in nature. Such as above....
I stopped by a street vendor to buy some bananas, and got this small grouping. Bill Webb, avid reader and fan of all things mythical, was spending a little time with the boys and I asked him to hold the bananas to illustrate their size.
The first time I went back to the US for work, I saw some bananas in a cafeteria that made me chuckle. They were almost the size of a human forearm - just unnatural.
Finally, on the subject of bananas - the government bull-dozed about 10 banana stands on the side of the road just up the hill from us. What's done is done, but it's sad. This is the only place on the web you'll hear about their plight.
Poor people eaking out a living is all they were.....
