Los albaniles (the workers) have spotted a ripe papaya plant...time for a break to have a little fun. Manuel climbs a wall, and balances on the 4" wall while holding a home-made papaya-picker, as the papayas are way beyond reach...He uses the picker to wiggle a papaya free...then another, and another...but then he encounters a stubborn one...keeps wiggling it till it falls on his head - papaya shampoo! all this time, I am anxiously watching, worrying that he will fall off the wall, but no-one else seems to worry - after all, he is a Mexican, and they are very skilled at anything involving heights...still, I am relieved when he comes down, and we all share the sweet papaya -valor de la pena!
