Following up on our mango post, we should note that with the mangoes come....flies. Humans aren't the only ones who feast on the sticky-sweet goodness of mangoes; the flies do, too. June and July, the tail end of mango season, are also the worst months for flies in Nicaragua. Sometimes we can hardly eat because we're busy shoo-ing flies from our table.
How do we survive these months? Fly Paper. We typically give the table a pass-over with fly paper before, during, and after a meal. They hop on and stay for a while; we eat our meal in (relative) peace. If anyone has any more ideas for keeping flies at bay, we'd be happy to hear your ideas.
