Mango bumper crop

Planted a mango tree about seven years ago. The first year I had less than ten mangoes. Each year that number increased. I added three more trees three years ago.

This year I am experiencing a bumper crop.

Last year I made frozen popsicles which kept me supplied for a few months. 

This year all the popsicle molds are filled and I have already a dozen containers with mangoes blended with a small amount of vodka.  I'm using vodka to kill any bacteria

Burying the scrap in holes under the tree, hoping that it will act as nutrition for next year's crop.

Been experimenting various recipes from ice cream, gelatin, curries and even cocktails.

Pool Maintenance

Old pump served well for around 17 years. The option was rebuild or replace. The new pump is bigger and required removing some cement

Vacuumed up the seddiment and the pool looks clean

Tourism comeback prediction

Everyone is expecting miracles.  

Used to be buses arrived in packs. That way you only had to herd one large group through the temple grounds instead of many smaller groups.

Many of the tour buses hauled domestic travelers.  Most international tour groups were Asian. Don't recollect groups of western tourists on tour buses

It's been twenty years since I checked in on a tour bus group, the majority were Korean. 

I'll not forget this group till the end of my days.  

All were invited to purchase eggs.  They were then cracked in various ways and the person's fortunes where then predicted by a someone who knew how to read the cracked eggs and explain to the believer.

I've never found cause to make up a story.  I have enough real life experiences.

I did spend some years in the tourism industry, worked as a bellman, maître d, party planner and even busboy in hotels and country clubs.
