No electric in most of the interior
No water in Utuado-tankers of potable water for residents to refill
Second floors caved in
Zinc roofs strewn through the mountainside
Driving over countless electric wires
Poles and wires dangling overhead
Community
Solar power at Casa Pueblo
Butterfly house
Native monarchs
Culture
Hospitality
Coffee
Hugs
Tears
Invitations to return
Corn ice cream
Collapsed greenhouses
Pulling over to gift organic seeds to agronomists and growers
Closed roads and washouts
Guajataca Dam draining-impending drought for thousands
Speakers blaring, floats and jeeps with lights and sirens, party time
A highway turned to a river of garbage-not by the storm but by the two leggeds' festivals (just like fairs, fests and concerts in the states)...heartbreak
Detours
More driving over wires
More debris
More trees and poles down
More blue tarps
More smiling faces
More music...so much music everywhere
Exhaustion
