I really get home sick when I see something that reminds me of the little things that are no longer surrounding me. I don’t see nopales or tumble weeds around here; this little cactus is the closest thing to see home greenery. Not that I am complaining, i am merely pointing out my nostalgia. But is it not that bad of a trade, walking down the street and being able to reach up and pull a mango off a tree, or an avocado, or even a star fruit.  I do miss all you northerners, too. =) Today’s picture is the Brazilian cousin of the cacti we have back home.
