Taiwan - Chenjean's Village, Banana Leaf

When I was a kid we had a banana tree growing in our back yard where I grew up in Orange, Texas.  Didn't get many bananas, though, if memory serves...all I remember is that it never grew very tall and the giant leaves were sometimes fun to play with.

After we encountered the temple posted yesterday we consulted the GPS on my phone and decided to take a different route back to the house.  The way showed a clear path, but we only ended up getting deeper into the jungle until it finally just petered out.  Rather than hack our way through undergrowth for an uncertain outcome we backtracked along the way we came and regained our bearings.  It was while we were going down this dead end that we explored an orchard, where this leaf had recently been rained on.
