View from the balcony

Our apartment has a nice balcony off one of the rooms, and we sometimes eat breakfast out there.  We're on the 4th floor and have a nice view of the trees and plants around us.

HOLY BASIL PLANT (not what we know as basil)  Many people in India consider this a  sacred plant and have one in their home.  Its healing properties are well-known.

COCONUJT TREE -  there are many coconut trees in the area and many coconut stands, including one just outside the yoga institute which is frequented on a daily basis by many students.

ALMOND TREE



MANGO TREE - too bad that mango season is already over. I always associate mangoes with Mexico, so was surprised to find out that they originated in India.
