Mango, mango


These are huge mango trees on the Savannah in Lethem. More mangoes are eaten in the world than any other fruit, even bananas. These trees are over a hundred years old and produce a great amount of fruit every year. The mango is delicious. You can tell how big these trees are by the size of the SUV underneath. When you drive around the islands and over Guyana, you see thousands of these trees full of the mango. Even a poor begger can find a mango and get something to eat anytime he wants.
