{It’s a transparent butterfly}
I was fortunate enough to be able to go to the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands this past summer. I’ve wanted to go since I was a little girl. In the 4th grade, we learned about these magical places that seemed so exotic, faraway, and wild I never thought I would actually be able to go. I was also lucky enough to go with my favorite person in the world. We went for 2 weeks, 5 days in the Amazon and 8 days cruising around the Galapagos Islands. I can’t really describe to you in words how amazing the trip was. You just need to go and experience it yourself.
Some of my favorite memories from the trip:
- Seeing pygmy monkeys (so tiny!)
- Swimming with dolphins in the ocean
- Walking the canopy walk
- Swimming in the black lake only to realize there were caymans
- Swimming with sea lions
- Diving at Gordons Rock
- Snorkeling with sharks
- Crossing the equator
- Seeing the Southern Cross constellation
- Seeing giant tortoises
- Whale watching
- Chasing sunfishes on the zodiacs
