Tropical Storm Alma

We were the proud recipients of the first tropical storm of the season -- TS Alma. She didn't have a lot of punch, it just rained for a day. That's actually a good thing for the people with houses perched on the side of a mountain -- mud slides are a bad thing. Here's a couple pictures of the pond that forms between my office and the gym:





It isn't all that deep, but it didn't rain all that heavy either. It appears the drainage is a little slow here. I'm interested in what happens when we get a long, heavy rain. We're on stilts, as you can see in the next picture, so I have reason to believe it sometimes floods here.





As for the mango update, they have been getting ripe for a few weeks now and I've been eating way too many. In fact, a couple people have started calling me Johnny Mango. We have one tree with mangoes that mature much slower, and they are much bigger. They should start coming ripe in the next week or so.

Sorry about the long pause between updates, but I will start to update more often now. I have another trip to Tegucigalpa planned this weekend, and then a trip to the ruins at Copan next week. I also have some ENT surgery photos I took last week in San Pedro Sula, so I'll work on posting them this week.
