Day 11

A day in Cienfuegos, Cuba. Awesome day, awesome goodbye from the Cubans!

Really big! The Banyan tree was very big! It had all kind of noo
Cool!

The tree was very cool. It was super old. the roots are so strong our guide swung from them like Tarzan!
Looking back

It doesn't show how big the tree really was.
Air plants

This tree was covered with air plants. They said it wasn't hurting the tree at all.
Close-up

You can see just how many are in the tree!
Flower

They only flower once.
Magnolia

All of the trees they had were very old.
Copernicia Fallaensis

Apparently a rare palm tree from Cuba.
Bamboo
Only trees

The excursion said this was a "botanical garden." I think at this point everyone was realizing the garden only has trees.
Mahogany

It had pods all over it that is being tested for medicinal purposes.
Pretty!
Interesting

Even though it was only trees, it was interesting.
Brazil nuts

That big pod nearly to the top of the tree is full of Brazil nuts!

I had no idea what some of these trees looked like.
Pretty!
Redwood

It's hard to show how big it was. The people closer to the trunk weren't to it yet.
Pretty air plant
No idea

I don't remember what this tree was at all but, it's pretty!
