The famous goose is taking a stroll, but this time she is in the Canary Islands.

In the small village of Icod de los Vinos, there is the famous dragon tree which they say is 1000 years old, but it is likely to be only a couple hundred years old.  However a walk in that area is wonderful and the Goose looks happy.

Thank you Sue.  The last I heard was that the city is still trying to get the tree listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  Maybe so that someone doesn't cut it down and count the rings to see really how old it is?

No Dean, that's silly.  That type of tree doesn't have rings.

According to Guinness World Records the oldest ever goose was a gander named George who lived to an age of 49 years and 8 months : >

Why would it not have rings? Maybe there are dragons inside?

There are two birdies!

'Love Sue's goose :-)
