The Dangers Of Living In Mexico
The post title is rather tongue in cheek, as we feel quite safe here where we live; although there are some dangers. Such as, if you are over 6 ft. tall and have a mango tree growing right beside your staircase. Every time Roy would come up the stairs lately he would have to remember to duck or risk being beaned in the head with 2 or 3 mangos. I thought it was pretty funny, him not so much.
Yesterday morning he decided that it was time for a pruning job. So being a good blogger I had to record the before and after.
Before the mango pruning.
Before the mango pruning.
After the pruning, safer for tall people now.

Being tall in Mexico is a hazard. The first year or two here I clunked my head against many a low hanging object or doorway.
I have gotten better about this over time, but there are painful lessons lurking about everywhere.
I will have to tell Dave to watch out for mango trees. I have never seen one before and I love mangoes
Calypso: yes, Roy is always watching out for his head here. The mangos were one of the softer things threatening his head; they were more of an annoyance than anything.
Berni: Dave won't need to worry about his head and the mangos as they don't start growing until after you will have left for the season, if you only winter here. They start blooming around Feb. and take until now to become a hazard. They will be ready to eat around July or so and will be done by the time you arrive. He will need to watch his head for other things such as low signs, air conditioners stuck out of walls, etc.. I am glad that I am short as I am always watching where my feet go as the pavement,sidewalks, etc. are so full of holes, etc. that you have to be careful not to trip. If I was also tall I am not sure how I would watch my head and my feet at the same time lol.
