Hallo Wim, während Du den Divi Divi Tree oder das was davon übrig geblieben ist in Augenschein nimmst, gehe ich gurch die Straßen von Beuel und sehe wieder
diese schönen Bäume .
Ich wünsche Dir und allen Mitreisenden jedenfalls eine sehr schöne Zeit und unvergessliche Erinnerungen. Liebe Grüße, Elisabeth
You are welcome! Never too late to learn, he? We locals love you loyal visitors who keep coming back and also love our island.
I've seen your other pictures. Keep up the nice work.
Best regards, Angel.
This beautiful tree is not a Divi Divi tree (Caesalpinia coriaria), but a Buttonwood tree (Conocarpue erecta), called Fofoti in papiamento (Aruba's native language). The Divi Divi tree is clled Watapana in papiamento. People seem to label all wind-swept trees as Divi Divi trees, but actually, almost all of Aruba's trees are bent by the wind like this.
I've Changed the Title, but I didn't want to delete my comment Antonrdm, angelaruba already told me taht it is a Fofoti. Now in 2009 the tree looks like this tree.
Vielen Dank Bernd, werde dein Panoramio-Album auch bald anschauen.

Sorry, but this not a Divi Divi Tree. This is a mangrove tree (Button wood) called "Fofoti" in Papiamento (Aruba native language).

Thank you angelaruba, I've changed the Title. I got the name from people at Amsterdam Manor.
Today just came back from another stay in Aruba. Will post some more photos from "One Happy Island"

Thank you Angel, Aruba is a very nice place with very kind people, we like your happy island ;-)
Da war ich aber zu spät poly, Karneval war schon vorbei, aber Aruba ist immer eine Reise wert.
Beste Geert, ja ik was er vorige week weer, dit is ook een heel mooie boom, waarmee ook reklame gemaakt wordt voor Aruba.
De groeten uit Bonn, Wim
