Reflecting on my time in the Galapagos
I got depressed a few days before leaving San Cristobal. I didn’t want to leave. I didn’t feel like I had seen enough, experienced enough, or done enough research. My trip passed in a dream like state and the assignments were so time consuming that I didn’t have the opportunity to process enough. On the equator the days are divided in half with sunlight: 12 hours of sun, 12 hours of darkness all year round. This lends itself to a dreamy, out-of-time feeling.
