"This is a picture of a mandarin that I was about to eat, with the terrace of my homestay apartment. I see this view almost every day, because I like to sit and read or do homework out there, and the view from my bedroom is the same. They eat a Mediterranean diet here in Mallorca, so there is tons of fresh fruits and vegetables, and my absolute favorite is mandarin oranges. The ones they have here are super fresh and delicious, so I usually eat a couple every day. I also love to take pictures of them because they're so beautiful, and there's always something around here to make a great background."
