On a hunt for the perfect banana, our first attempt driving away from Pokhara yielded only so-so results. Going up from the Pokhara Valley into the higher mountains, we found fruit stands along the slim slice of roadway. Three women sitting on the stoop of a little house sporting pineapples and beautiful bananas caught our eye. “Stop the van!”It was hot; some of us were suffering from stiffening, sore muscles; Megan Kack leeped out of the van on a hunt for the best bunch of bananas to ease the healing process from that 53+ mile walk. Potassium, you know.
Fresh, just off the tree - you rarely taste anything so terrific as a perfectly ripe, fresh banana. Each little 5 inch long fruit cost 5 Nepali Rupees – - – approximately 7 cents. What a treat!
So on we went, returning once again to Kathmandu – to commit research results to writing, crunch data, analyze, synthesize, and reflect.
