free avocados!

yesterday we went to an old college friends house and heard about his avocado tree in his backyard... that he never eats!! he welcomed us to pick and take as much as we wanted... not only did he have an avocado tree but also a lemon and peach tree too...that he also never eats!!- amazing!

i was expecting a small avocado tree with a few growing.. but NO! it was huge tree with tons of avocados high above that you had to use a special stick to get them down! my love for avocados grew when i decided right before i went to China 5 years ago that not all weird green mushy things were bad. i first tried it in a california roll, then guacamole, and then loved it. but the sad thing was, i could only enjoy things like that in America since avocados are imported fruits and super expensive... about 3-4 US dollars for 1!!! needless to say, i take advantage of avocados in the states.. especially when they are free! :D

lesson learned: don't judge a fruit by it's color/texture... because it might just become your next favorite thing and enjoy it while you can because others don't always get the same opportunity! :)
