Mike in front of one large tree

Above is a picture of Mike in front of only ONE huanacaxtle tree. It is one of the largest, shadiest and longest lasting trees, able to reach heights of up to 125 feet with a trunk measuring more than 12 feet in diameter. It is definitely an impressive tree and the township of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle where we have been for 2.5 months has been named after it.

Where is the Inspiration? Let’s Trade Coconuts…

How many cares one loses when one
Decides not to be something

But to be someone.
