Galapagos reflection (old)

Reflection by GLA Student Kelly August 5, 2010
"I am not entirely sure what to expect, but whatever this trip ends up being I'm sure it will be interesting." This excerpt from my GLA journal sums up most of our begining feelings about the trip: curious, expectant, unsure; however, these two weeks in the Galapagos, Ecuador have turned out to be much more than interesting, so much more that mere words can hardly do it justice. The journey encompassed facing our fears, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures. From those afraid of heights being able to jump off of 20 foot cliffs to people even in fear of not bathing for 4 days, we all faced and conquered difficult tasks. The beautiful Galapagos Islands will always plead our return as it holds many fond memories and life-altering experiences.
