During the Mission Trip in El Salvador, I met a couple of kids who would come by the construction area everyday after school. They were really funny, we would talk and play with whatever we found. One day I set up a soccer game with the guys on the team and my lil Salvadorian friends. A lot of people walked by the field where we were playing, so we invited them to play. Two men came and joined us, along with several other kids. We had a great time. After the game was over they showed us another way of getting back to the construction area. It was kind of like a backside shortcut that allowed us to actually walk in the community instead of the main street. We had to walk through one of the men's property in order to get to where we were going. As we walked through I looked up and saw a bunch if Mamones (delicious exotic fruit) hanging from a tree. One of the men must have noticed my mouth wide open as I starred in awe. So they offered us some and they were DELICIOUS!

Teaching the guys how to eat Mamones:
Just bite off the shell...
Pop it in your mouth and savour the great taste...mmmm!
