Summary: | It's after 10 p.m. when Marya finally land in San Juan and her friend Luis Othoniel Rosa picks her up so they can drive two hours west along Puerto Rico's northern rim to Isabela, the coastal town where Nicole Cecilia Delgado lives. They drive through the city; she wonders which tall buildings are owned by absentee landlords. They pass the sprawling suburbia of Bayamón and the nestled mountain towns looming beneath the green covering that ascends in the distance on their left. She hears the coquí for the first time, and Luis tells her that their rhythms have changed since Maria. Nicole's home, a white-stucco multilevel building, sits on a corner just below Isabela's quaint town square. A rooftop balcony filled with twinkly lights and nurtured plants welcomes them. Nicole has made lentils. It's warm. She has come from winter in Nebraska. |
