Here is another image of a neighborhood home with a lush natural garden. Papayas, coconut palms, bananas, flame trees and clothes hanging out to dry. It is interesting, we've noticed that there is a love for plants and gardens, patio gardens, container gardens and flowers around most homes here. Everything grows like a jungle.
If I lived in Zihua, this is how I'd want my yard to look. The more "jungle" the better, and I like the idea behind clothes lines. Perhaps there is something in our DNA that wants to get back to Eden, and I often tell Karis that I hope God let's me live in a forest. Buildings and shelters (and clothes) may simply be a necessary consequence of living under harsh conditions, the world beyond Eden, where protection of all sorts is required to stay alive.
