Avocados!!!

One of the great things about living in Bali is having food grow in our yard.
We have banana, lemon and breadfruit trees... to name a few.
But by far our favorite is the avocado tree, which has been giving us huge avocados for the past 2 months or so. Here's a picture of the tree, which is just above our kitchen, and a short explanation of how we harvest the avocados...

First, you need someone to climb the tree. Wayan, our gardener, is always up for the task.

Once up, he reaches out and picks the avocado...

...and then throws it down to me on the ground.

We usually pick about four at a time.
They're huge. And make great guacamole, and a specialty here, avocado juice.
