More DescriptionIsla de los GatosThe last time I visited one of my favorite island nations, I was charmed by the warmth of the people and concerned for their welfare. The split between the haves and the have-nots was grim. At a local gallery, one dark painting struck me in the heart: "The Othersiders" depicted the division and unfairness I saw on the island.
