Six days until the start of the Galapagos trip. I was up until 1:30 AM the other night re-reading everything I wrote in Alaska, and I was reminded of how much beauty and peacefulness there was in that life. This trip to Ecuador is a chance to experience that feeling again, albeit briefly. I definitely can’t complain about the current way in which the days are going, but I must admit that the biggest sense of fulfillment after doing my job each day comes from knowing that I’ve earned several future days of that other life.
