Well, here we sit at the breakfast table on our final morning (abroad) on this trip. We knew the time would pass quickly. However, I think everyone is ready to be home and not traveling out of a backpack for a while.
Our week in the Galapagos Islands has been good, but not great. I guess we came in with these really high expectations of an exotic locale and it turned out to be a little bit pedestrian. Admittedly, it was pretty neat to see the wildlife up close. They all seem to be very tame and unafraid of human presence.
I did get to do a day of scuba diving with manta rays and hammerhead sharks. I think if we went back I would look to book a week-long diving cruise. The underwater marine life is amazing.
We have a bigtime milk run to get back to Portland, Oregon. We embark on about 28 hours of continuous travel around 60 minutes from now.
We will likely post a few more times before we wrap up this blog. Final thoughts on the trip, reunion pics with Nanda, etc.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
