Every time I come back from a trip, it's very polite to have inexpensive gifts for all my friends.
I was driving out of Ouagadougou, with just enough time to get home before dark, when I realized that I hadn't bought any gifts. Oh no! Catastrophe!
Then I drove past this pile of watermelons. Watermelons here rock. They have so much more flavor than the ones in the States.
So, I filled all the empty spaces in the back of my truck and brought watermelons back to mmmBELLYmay land. They were a big hit.
Sorry – after Scruffy’s tummy tuck, a photo of two women holding melons is enough to make a smile cross my face, and I have resisted and resisted the temptation to say, “nice melons!”, but tonight I gave in to the temptation. It just made me smile, and anything that can make me smile today is good.
So…
Nice melons!
Wow! That is a huge pile of watermelons! And a great cadeaux idea. Ellie, thanks for the laugh! Glad you got a smile out of that one…
Bummer, I should have thought of watermelons when I visited friends today. I forgot. 🙁
