My favorite thing
Thing 1: getting here. Thing 2: passionfruit. The first time I ever had one I didn't like it. The second time I had one, I squeezed it open like the kids I was eating with, and it squirted one of them in the head. Amid shrieks of the kids' laughter, I tried my third passionfruit (cut with a knife) and was hooked forever. It's about the size of a small plum, with a hard crusty exterior. You cut it and eat the insides with a spoon. The fruit consists of goop and seeds, and it's delicious. The only place I've seen them in the Cincinnati area is Jungle Jim's, and they're very expensive there.

All I want for my birthday is 52 passion fruits. That's it. Nothing else. That should be easy. I promise not to squirt you because although it would be funny, it would be unkind. Okay, maybe I will squirt you a little.

Ellen, I am so glad that you didn't refer to the inside of the fruit as "like snot". People get put off by that kind of language. Enjoy those passion fruit thingies over there!
A message and a photo! So presumably the iPad worked out as a tool for composing & publishing. Glad to hear that you're in Nairobi & enjoying local culture.
An anonymous commenter who thinks passionfruit is like snot? Who could it possibly be? Hmmm... Same person who wants passionfruit for his birthday, I suspect. Your wish will only be granted if you promise to cut them with a knife. No squirting.
iPad is working well so far as M and H have a fairly robust wi-fi signal. We'll see how it holds up when I go somewhere else.
I have been falsely accused! :-)
Yes, I want the fruity birthday presents, but there is a sassy lassie that made the 'snotty' comment. You know the type, typically they have the frecklies.
Yeah, yeah, blame it on the frecklies...
OK. The frecklies admit to the snotty comment. Take care of your lilies - sunblock! Hope to see more photos of your adventures. lo
