GALAPAGOS Y'ALL

Hey all. Its been awhile and I've missed this a lot. Ive thought about writing a blog for so long but never give myself the push to actually DO it. Well here we are. This may be a rough read since its been so long.

So, tomorrow Im headed to the Galapagos with a bunch of friends and family. I can't wait! I wanted a big hoorah for my 30th year and the birthplace of science seemed like a fitting place :)

Ive been researching and obsessing and getting excited and hoping that Ive planned this all correctly. No amount of time is enough time to feel fully prepared for a trip like this. It'll be interesting since we are planning it all ourselves but Im sure it'll work out and be fantastic.

We have an AirBnB house that is my dream vacation home! Thats really what sparked this whole thing, the house. Ive been thinking about the Galapagos for months but then I found this house and knew I HAD to have it. It was relatively inexpensive and absolutely gorgeous. Ill post pics when I get down there (uh, hopefully...).

Im also super excited to completely nerd out over all the biology thats everywhere. There will be lots of squealing for sure. (If you've ever seen me react to anything I find biologically fascinating, you know what that squeal sounds like). Y'all, there are penguins! and marine iguanas! and turtles! and cacti! and soooo many other amazing things that I can't wait to see and explore and learn about.

Hopefully this post is the catalyst to many more coming quickly. I have missed pounding away at the keys and seeing my thoughts develop on the screen.

Chao!!

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

To Brittian and Back

Today Amber, Dana and I woke up early to go on an adventure. 6:23 to be exact. How I know that is because Ty had to call me to wake Dana and I up from our very deep slumber. I sprung awake and got ready in record time to try to help Ty jump his car. Only it didn't work so we had to wake up my roommate to drive us all. The three ladies convened at the dock where our boat trip would leave. We were all a little tired but mostly excited for our long overdue adventure and being tourists for the day. We started our tip with about an hour long boat ride to Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands (BVI), the three of us talking about anything and everything that came to mind. Once we got to Virgin Gorda, everyone on the trip took a taxi over to the baths. The baths (BVI) are a geologic structure in which volcanic rock is pushed up near the water to create tunnels, pools, arches and grottoes. There are only two baths in the world, one being in the BVI, so it was super cool that we got to go...
