market mango madness

A trip to the weekly market, called a 'louma,' to visit one of my moms turns into an excuse for a mango binge.

Mango season is in full swing here in Senegal. I generally find that I am swimming in seas of mangoes - mango for breakfast, for a snack, as a present for my family, just because. Big mangoes, small mangoes, stringy mangoes, ripe mangoes, sour mangoes. Mango juice, dried mango, with salt or spice, it's everything nice!

One might think that you could get sick of the mango invasion, and believe me, I've come close, but you just can't beat that mango magic.
