Mangos


Mexican street vendors sell mangos on a stick. The mangos are peeled and sliced to resemble big yellow flowers.

In Guadalajara, a sad man told me his wife had left him...and his dog had just died. In appreciation of my listening to his story he wanted me to have the mango he'd just purchased.

It was a tasty mango. I felt sorry for the sad man.
