It turns out that the pod-like tree that collasped is a banana tree. I only knew that it was not a palm and not a tree. The weight of the banana-less pod was so heavy that the top half bent but didn't break, but the weight of it pulled the base of the tree out from the soil. So tomorrow is bye-bye to the banana tree. The arborist that came over to look at it was surprised to see it. I guess banana trees in San Diego are not that common. I'm also getting the two small dead fruit trees removed as a freebie tomorrow. I also learned how to clear a clogged sprinkler and part of my dead yard is getting water again at last! The gopher also returned after a 6 week break. Time for more kitty litter!
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
