Photo 2: My Great Aunt, Rain and a Panoramic View of the Mountains |
My great aunt recently moved back to Puerto Rico from the US; she's retired and readjusting to her motherland. She bought a modest home in Guayabal and worked with her husband to remodel it into a modern, spacious casa with a panoramic view of PR's emerald mountains. She grows mouthwatering herbs and fruit trees in her spacious garden. At this high elevation you could literally see the sheet of rain approaching like a cloak, casting a shadow on the world below it. The cooling winds a relief on an oppressively hot and humid late October day in the tropics.
