fruit

Earlier this week I got a tour of some experimental farms run by the univeristy of hawaii from an agriculture professor in Hilo. Along with some really cool flower hybrids they are working on for the resorts they have a number of exotic fruit trees. Lychee is great fresh off the tree and I really like jaboticaba berries. Jack fruits a huge and smelly but there I wasn't able to try any. I got to see cinamon and nutmeg trees, cashews and macadamia nuts, pinapple, banana, avocado, sugar cane, and Kona cofee!
Some people may not consider this fun but it was a hilight of the trip for me. Hilo is pretty cool, if a little wet.
