Travelling through Ecuador and the Galapagos over the course of a few weeks was amazing. All the people I met were wonderful. And the Galapagos Islands were teeming with life. Although I’m always excited when embarking on a new adventure, this trip was especially memorable. Experiencing a new culture, and seeing such a wide diversity of wildlife in its natural habitat, was truly phenomenal. Sea lions and iguanas share the sand, with barely a notice of the other. The penguins and blue footed boobies chirp happily, perched on rocks above waters swimming with sea turtles, sting rays, and sharks. Each day I was away was a reminder of why, and how much, I love to travel.
But, ahh, it’s great to be home. To my own bed, with soft sheets, and my perfect pillow. To my beautifully renovated bathrooms, where the water pressure is constant, and hot water flows freely. (After weeks without such things, I will no longer take them for granted!) I’m enjoying getting settled back in, pouring over photos, and sharing holiday stories with friends and family. After a nice break, I’m ready for the year to come, which is sure to be filled with many house-related projects. I may even get adventurous, and incorporate some of the vibrant colors of Ecuador into my decorating.
