Watermelons

Oh how I miss California fruit. I remember growing up in my father's orange grove on the weekends and summer and also climbing my the fruit trees in our backyard that my father planted. We had the most amazing plum tree that we would climb and eat plums until we couldn't eat anymore. He also had a peach tree that produced delicious plums. I remember going to the store and there would be bins of large watermelons for $2-$3.

Living in Japan has given me a new appreciation of fruit because it is so expensive here. We pay $5-$6 for an eighth of a watermelon but gladly pay it because we love it so much.

This a watermelon that is roughly the size of a basketball and yes, it is around $33 dollars with tax.
