Isla Isabella, Galapagos Group

The further I get from the trip to the Galapagos islands, the more I realise how stunning the place is; at the time it was obvious that it was unique, but that was driven a bit to the back burner. It was a stressful trip, since my husband and I were accompanying our daughter who was terminally ill. The worst happened two months later, and my attention has been muted. Now, April 2014 as part of remembrance, i am processing my photos. I'll never forget the place. I'll never forget what drove our daughter to drag us there. In the process of the stress, some photos got irreplaceable photos got deleted, but there are more than enough anyway, I suppose. I'm not even sure I have all the details of the individual place-names correct. But, overall, the Galapagos and what it offers is enthralling.
