My mom made it here! She got into Pignon yesterday afternoon. We haven't been able to stop talking and catching up since.
She brought me tons of American food, practically a suitcase full! ...homemade cookies, scones, tuna, pop tarts, and a big birthday cookie with icing. I should be all set for a few months now.



The other day I went to a friends' garden to pick Shadek (think Grapefruit-like). We used big long tree limbs to kind of knock the shadek out of the trees. Talk about hard work, but it was worth it, I got an enormous sack of shadek to take home. I had been practicing how to make juice from the shadek so I could impress my mom, but it tastes like I need a little more work.
