My favorite tree in Nicaragua. I would love to own it and build a house in it. Is along the beach of the lake here in Granada where I walk each day.

Re: Pics
Maybe my second favorite tree! It looks like one from those Disney cartoon flicks where the tree gets up out the swamp and chases some kids to eat them!

Always loved the trees when I am visiting, I've only visited during the dry season.
One of my favorites from the Isleta boat tour in Granada.

My sister sent me this link after I posted, on facebook, about wanting to build a house in this tree.

These pics show just how full Lake Nicaragua is these days. The beach used to go a 100 feet or so beyond these trees and bushes.

I'm definitely a novice here, but a quanacaste tree is similar in profile. (My favorite tree in Nicaragua. I would love to own it and build a house in it. Is along the beach of the lake here in Granada where I walk each day.
Re: Pics
I thought so too but I asked my wife and she said no (they have a guanacaste tree in the family's front yard) but she didn't know what type it was. I "googled" guanacaste tree and it says they grow from 25 to 35 feet tall. This tree is close to 70 feet tall. Everytime I pass by it, I imagine a house built right where the branches start spreading from the tall trunk.

Re: Pics
Jack, is that the tree with the yellow orange blossoms? If so, I was told it was a milinki tree or something to that effect? It's not a ceba is it?

They have this little one tied to the chair while they feed her so she doesn't fall off. She is my newest Nica niece and she had her first birthday about a month ago. Cachetona, ella! (It means she has chubby cheeks)

And the wiener gets just what exactly?
Re: Pics
we have used this technique quite a few times in the past, actually works very good with a parents sized belt.
Re: Pics
This is the backporch of a house here in Granada that overhangs the arroyo and has no fence or railing. I wonder if there are any kids living there.

How about "were"?
Life's different here ... It's a whole 'nother pace.
Re: Pics
my wife has a cousin that lives at one of these houses... its the one that has a pretty popular Fritanga in front. Can't recall the exact location.
