Las Manzanas

It's not always easy to find a good apple in the tropics.

As a kid I disliked apples. They tasted like a vegetable to me. That is because in the tropical cities where I lived there weren't any good apples.

I only liked green apples; they tasted more like the real thing. Back when I was in college I used to eat at the dining hall 4 or 5 apples a day. They were free, always available and a good snack to take with you. I learned to recognize the juicy ones from the "mushy" or matured flavored ones. I learned how the pointy red apples had more juice than the dull or flat crown looking ones. Apple science 101.

I like apples; again, it's just not easy to find a good apple in the tropics.
