We Have No Bananas, Today

September 25, 2024

The grass and weeds were getting tall out in front of the gates, so I borrowed my neighbor’s lawn mower and mowed in front of the property.

While I had the mower, I mowed both sides of the road and down to the corner.

On the way down to the ocean at Honuapo, there is a fruit stand in front of a large property. I stopped there and picked up a couple of mangoes and these bananas.

They are really short and extremely fat, so I wondered if they were plantains instead of bananas. When I ate one, they tasted like bananas, but they were definitely not the apple banana common on the island, and they didn’t taste like the ones I buy at the grocery store in Arizona. I think the ones in Arizona are shipped in from Costa Rica.

Down at Honuapo, I parked at the far end near the point, under some trees.

This is a prime spot for parking, as few other places here have large trees like this that provide shade and privacy.

The wading pool was totally full,

but it had not overflowed into the overflow pool next to it . . . yet!

The ocean was pretty calm, as well as the larger swimming pool.

The sky was a bit on the cloudy side, and the temperature today is lower than other days. This has made the water in these tidal pools a few degrees cooler than normal … but still refreshing and a good substitute for a bath!
