Magic I Saw this Week: Oh man, this week was all about magic. We got to tick off an item on my bucket list (and #4 on my life list.) We were lucky enough to go to the Galapagos Islands. And we saw magic everywhere. From the incredibly rare animals to the generous, resourceful and knowledgeable guides, to the luxurious hotel rooms we would have never booked on our own. We usually go affordable and low-key on vacation, but we used a wonderful and luxurious travel agent for this particular experience and it was so very worth it. I am deeply grateful for every moment of this experience.
