Wednesday July 29th
I was a little sad this morning as I had spent yesterday mostly apart from my family. But luckily today we were going to walk across the entire island, and I was too excited about that to worry about yesterday. That's the thing with travelling there's always a next adventure, and you'll never run out of amazing things to do. I was also happy that I was finally going to spend some time with my family who I'd seriously been missing for the last month as I was in Peru by myself.
These trees at the beginning of our hike were so strange! Like something out of Dr. Seuss
It was pretty steep
And then it got steeper
And somehow steeper
Then it became less enjoyable and more just terrible
And just when we were all hating life
It was worth it.
The more effort that you put in the more satisfying the result
My mother is in her element here. She's climbed mountains and glaciers all over the world.
We could see from ocean to ocean, and it was breathtaking.
And just when we were feeling proud of ourselves we realized how many roosters had done the same climb. Literally everywhere. There is no escape from the roosters.
Another Dr. Seuss looking rock. Also wow after spending a month in freezing cold Peru in the winter, I am REALLY white!
Then from mountains to beaches
"Our memories of the ocean will linger on long after our footprints in the sand are gone"
If you don't like where you are, change it! You are not a tree
