The only one I heard about comes from Dominica (<- not Dominican
Republic) and supposedly was better tasting then Florida ones from what I
was told.  Beats me as I am sure I have never had a Dominca one but have
had Florida ones, which were all orange coloured.

That sounds more like the ones from Dominica.  If I ever see that 'boat'
you promised me we'll have to check them out eh?

Sounds good to me.  No oranges grow here, wild or otherwise, from what I've
seen on this particular island.  Lots of cherry and apple trees though, but
none wild from my understanding, although the ones just outside my door may
as well be wild.  Works for me.

Ouch!  I hate when that happens.

Life is good,
Maurice
