Trip to La Huerta

We had to go to La Huerta to pay the house taxes and the car registration fee.  La Huerta is about an hour and a half drive.  These are some of the sights on the trip.  We passed fields of corn, sugar cane, bananas, and coco nuts.

The road seems narrow because of all the grass that grows along side of the road.

Some of the views

 A beautiful ranch wall.

We take the cobblestone bypass around the town of Villa Purification to avoid going thru the center of town.

  The town was built in 1533.                                

Workers following the dump truck, filled with sugar cane.
