"The Center of the Island I made a drive to the center of Puerto Rico to attend an Oktoberfest in Morovis. This was my first trip into the heart of the island and I was thrilled for the mountainous landscape and cooler temperatures. We first left the north coast and drove through Manati before stopping in the town of Ciales to take this photo from the Paseo Lineal building, overlooking the river and the town below. I love how the clouds snuggle into the tops of the mountains, as though our elevations rival Everest. Although the coast is where I belong, I'm excited that a journey into the mountains is only a short car ride away."
