Oh how fascinating! May I ask why you lived in Africa? That's just so unique and wild. I have never ate guava, but you make me want to try one now. I'm so curious about your time in Africa... I never left the state of Missouri until I was an adult.

Great, great entry. Thank you so much for sharing - I really loved reading it :)

My father was born and grew up in Africa. He became a doctor because he wanted to go back and help natives in Africa

Guavas also look delicious:)

What a lovely story. Your experiences in Africa sound amazing.

It is an amazing place. I hope to return one day!

The only good guavas I've had in the States were on the Big Island of Hawaii. And they were just as you described.

If you get this comment a million times, it's because my LJ is broken!!!

I am going to comment on this entry, so help me God.

Thank you for your commitment to delivering your comment! It HAS been annoying how LJ messes up so much recently.

I hope to taste GOOD guavas again one day. I've always wanted to go to Hawaii so maybe one day I can combine my dreams!

Childhood memories are some of our best, well written. I did not know they grew pineapple in Africa so I learned something too.

[similiesslip]

Yes, there were many pineapples growing near us. I'm glad as I love pineapple. I'm not certain if they grow there naturally (probably?) as I know some of the other US citizens there planted orange trees etc, as they longed for "a taste of home."

I really like your icon, BTW:)
