Florida's oddities...

Well, I guess that they arent really oddities but they are different for me. I havent seen a palm tree like this before. They call it a Cuban Roayl Palm. It is different as it is smooth all the way up.


And has a pretty green smoother area near the top of the tree.
They can grow very tall as well.....
When they loose a frond, the whole thing peels off like a banana peel. Leaving the tree smooth...kinda cool . This is why they are smooth.

We headed to a local market. The customers were lined up for such cool treats as key lime milkshakes, or guava shakes...They guy had a GOOD business.
We found some crazy fruit there as well. Read the cards on the fruit.....(if applicable)

Plantains...small banana's
Geeze, Gayle, I didnt know Jack had a fruit!!!!lol And check out the coconut tree growing beside it.

This one says that you must eat it when it is very soft. It tastes like a sweet and creamy custard.

Yummy papaya's and mango's behind them

Sounds yummy I think.
And, this is my favorite....A fruit only a mom could love....LOL
