Mango Season

My favorite thing about being in India during the month of May is MANGOES! It is mango season here, and yum! They are absolutely delicious. I’ve never really enjoyed tropical fruits before, for obvious reasons. Every mango I’ve tasted before this had to fly thousands of miles before getting to me. No wonder they weren’t juicy and flavorful like the mangoes I’ve been eating here. Mango slices, mango juice, mango lassi, mango with ice cream—at home, on the street, in restaurants. So many different colors and varieties…mmm. Our good friend Rupak and his family gave us a whole box of Alphonso mangoes which have been the most delicious so far. When we get back to Mumbai in June after our trip home, I think mango season will be over. So I’m going to keep eating them every day until we leave! Yum yum!
