Kona Thanksgiving

We joined our loved ones for Thanksgiving at a fascinating agricultural tourism property - Ohana Retreat. The site included 150 fruit trees, including one that had a fruit that tasted like brown sugar, cinnamon, and maple. I still need to figure out what that was.

Adjusting to the Kona side was a little hard. It was much hotter and I got heat exhaustion, followed by heat rash. Yuck. Luckily there was a nice pool to cool off in.

  1. The fruit (I confirmed with Lucy) is one of my favorites. It's called mamey and it is common in many parts of Mexico. More precisely, *mamey spate*. Here's a link where you can learn more: https://www.brookstropicals.com/our-specialties/mamey-sapote/
