Lots of rocks or is that coral? Heavy or easy lifting?

“This is the typical landscape you see on the less-developed parts of Aruba. This view was on the short hike to reach the beach from the place we stayed at.

The island has many tall cacti that are very reminiscent of the Saguaros that you seen in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. The vegetation in general reminded me very much of the thornscrub that you see in extreme south Texas. In many areas, the geology reminded me of what you find in southern California, with rugged hills and lots of rounded granite boulders. On the east side of the island there is coral limestone (barranca). There is also some lava from volcanic activity.”
