1-20-08 (mid-trip reflections)

Hola amigos! I must start off with saying that my glasses tan is starting to become pretty wicked. Or really gross.

I love being surrounded in this culture that I have never really experienced before. I plan on coming back, just fyi. I must say, for only being here for about a week I have experienced a lot. I have become closer to my fellow explorers. I have gotten a cold, I’m much better now. I have thrown up. I have gotten stuck in a shower for 15 minutes. I have tripped and fell. I am part of the polar bear club. I am ‘mama koala’. I have experienced the best sea food ever. I ate fish tacos for the first time. I have been surrounded by whales for the first time [and I won’t allow it to be the last time]. I have been in a boat. I have been away from home for the longest time, and it’s nice.

I can say right now I need to drink more water.

To end this, I will say that I am very thankful that I was able to go on this trip and I can’t wait to see all of you when I get back
