it goes back to that first trip with my now-husband

We went to the El Yunque tropical rainforest and, unusual for us, watched a video about the park before heading out to explore. The video showed and talked about the flora + fauna in the forest —

it was the fauna that intrigued me

All sorts of animals live in the rainforest. And I wanted to see one in a bad way. So we set out with a map and decided which trail to take. The place is amazing! Previously, I had only been on the periphery, but we embarked on a trail that day.

the path was lush and intense

it’s a tropical rainforest after all! So it was easy to forget that we (I) walked along a precipice. Nothing but sheer nothingness on my left, but with lushness growing up the side, the edge of the mountain was not visible. See where I’m going? No pun intended! 😆
