Trees of a different kind and Let's Go Fly a Kite!





























After a nice long winter's nap, we took the kids to Los Dominicos, the quaint shopping area. We didn't buy anything, but Tina and Chris did pose against some really strange trees. One is a HUGE palm tree and the other is a chorisia speciosa (vicious!) tree. Look at the tree bark on this puppy! This just SCREAMS "Go ahead, try to climb me. Make my day!". Those are some WICKED thorns on the trunk.

Check it out-

After the shopping experience we bought a paper kite and a spool of thread and managed to get the thing off of the ground for a good 10 seconds. Note how the kite looks like the Chilean flag which looks like the Texas flag! Cool!
