Day 14: Palmatum

 I’m getting slower and slower about posting these, partially cause I have less to say, and partially cause I’m just getting lazy. I’m going to try to keep it up though. 

In the morning we went and got tea and wandered around the palmatum. It was really cool. A palmatum is a botanical garden dedicated to palm species. They are from all over the world and it was cool to see all the different palm, even a few I recognized from Florida like the Sabal palm and the Royal palm. 

High up in the trees there were hundreds on chattering fruit bats. They are incredible to see. You forget how big they are, but even far away, they are bigger than most birds. It’s so cool to watch them fight and stretch. I’ll have to go back one evening to see them all take off for the night.
