Upon returning to Puerto Rico, I took a trip to the El Yunque Rainforest. The first stop was the Visitor’s Center. There, a painting by Emilio de La Botija called Sobreviviré (To Survive) depicts a Puerto Rican Parrot and emphasizes the need to protect the rainforest. Phalenopsis orchids hang throughout the visitor center.
