and by the title of this post I mean me, not this guys. This is not the best action shot, but take it from me, they were having a helluva lot of fun. The cynic in me wonders what infections they picked up, but their unfettered enthusiasm made me think, if I swallowed sea water and dirt regularly, maybe my immunity would improve and I could also run around uninhibited. Erm, but maybe not.</p>

I&#8217;m sad to bid farewell to my favorite fruit for another year. This year seemed less full of mango mania but I got aam-ras a few times and sampled all the varieties. I missed 3 weeks of rain and mangoes this summer but &#8230; oh well. Got this giant <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaunsa" target="_blank">chaunsa</a> on their way out. I have large hands and this one was &#8230; ginormous! And a luscious mouthful from every side. Farewell mangoes &#8230; until next year then!<br />
And thank god for <a href="http://www.custardapple.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=46&amp;Itemid=53" target="_blank">custard apples</a> <img src='http://www.chhavisachdev.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
