Comprising a Life

I was disappointed in the so-called rain forests of Puerto Rico.  However I had forgotten that they had sustained two very bad hurricanes in recent history and that the land hadn't really had a chance to recover since then. What I did find interesting was how quickly one can find oneself looking back at San Juan from a fog shrouded peak, however modest it might be.  Also, now limited to a wheelchair  I found out for the first time how truly different my life is now, not being able to scramble through the underbrush or walk the nature trails.  These limitations may have also played a role in my disappointment.  Photography was limited too, as the smog from San Juan had conspired with the fog rolling off the mountains to make a light starved landscape with  few distinguishable features worth recounting. The rare exceptions being opportunities to view some interesting waterfalls.
