“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Heading Across the Atlantic

Sometime after noon today it was obvious that our journey down the Amazon was over and we are back on the Atlantic. You see, while we were on the Amazon the constant rocking of the ship ceased completely and it was smooth sailing. And then about halfway through work today everyone starting stumbling around again, trying to regain their sea legs.

Our journey will take us nine days total. Nine days of pasta and potatoes and iceberg lettuce. I'm already sick of it and bought a muffin from the snack bar for dinner instead.

Rumor has it that five students from our Amazon adventure (yes, the one I went on) have been quarantined. It's a little concerning.
