Between Then and Now Botanical Park

Here are some pretty pictures from the Botanical Park. It is located up in the hills just south of Chania. It is located on some old olive terraces that had burned in a forest fire. We also had lunch there and got to eat some of the fruits that we saw growing in the park. Guava and something called blue pilly billy berries (I think).

The animals are Kri Kri. The sign says that the tree trunks are painted white to keep them from being sun burned. I have also heard that the white paint has lime in it that keeps bugs off the tree. I like the trees painted white because they are pretty and so that after dark you can see where they are so you don't run into them and they help tell where the edge of the road is.
