CIMG8177 Coconuts growing on a tree in Mexico

CIMG8177 Around the ruins of Tulum in Mexico I saw, for the first time in my life, coconuts growing in a tree. I was surprised they were non-hairy, unlike the coconuts sold in stores in the US. I was wondering if these coconuts simply weren’t ripe yet?

I went on a Gulf of Mexico / Caribbean cruise in November of 2007. Our ship was named Ecstasy. The ship sailed from Galveston TX, to Cozumel and Progresso (Mexico) and back. We got to see some of the archaeological sites of Mexico: Mayan ruins and pyramids.
