    Hello, I was going to take this apart and put another print in it. I bought it for the frame. Well now I am wondering about it. I am frustrated because I looked up Vanilla and Coca trees, and I am not sure what this tree is? Frame is worth the $15. but what is the French hallmark? help needed! Simon said get some maybe we can smoke it!!! thanks! Don

      In the mid 80's I spent a couple of Years in Costa Rica, my late Husband had an assignment there. It was an absolutely beautiful country

      I have been many times! In Puerto Limon I saw banana trees with large blue trash bags over the fruit to protect against insects and maybe a greenhouse effect! I am not sure! I am guessing! I was there in the 80's also!!

      This is getting good. I think they might be finger bananas.

      Is print worth saving? I have another I want to put into the frame?

      I was born on Kauai, use to go to Oahu every summer before school started to do school shopping. Haven't been home since "88". I have 1 brother and a few cousins who still live there. To be honest I don't think I could live out ther again, be on the mainland so long I would feel cloustaphobic( I think I spelled it right). From what friends have told me Oahu has gotten to big of a city and the Aloha spirit is not so genuine anymore, now if I could go to a tropical spot it would be Bora Bora, in Tahiti, nows thats what I'm talking about, by the way I'm half Hawaiian and half Italian so no matter what way you look at it I have to talk with my hands...lol
