I used to think that if you bought a hose, it means you've arrived. You've hit the stage where you most likely own a home and you're settling down enough to actually buy a hose...aka take care of a lawn and enter into the real stage of adulthood.
But since a hose is nowhere in my near future (you know, because of the CA drought), I'm adjusting my definition of arrival.
And after hitting up the beaches in the Galápagos Islands, I'd like to announce, I've arrived. These beaches. The ocean. And salty hair is just about all I need.

After landing on the island of Santa Cruz, we wandered around the town looking for a place to stay. I would have opted to sleep on the beach if this whole place wasn't a national park. But as grown ups do, we decided we'd go find beds to sleep in.
After a successful divide and conquer mission, we landed ourselves in a hostel that apparently has geckos in the walls. We saw one. It came to visit. And as a result, I've lost my voice.
Then it was off to Tortuga Bay.

We walked what seemed like five miles down this path. But the destination was well worth the journey.
A pristine beach. Sand as soft as flour. And an endless set of waves rolling in crystal blue water.
The only problem...were these terrifying creatures. And as I've said before, I don't do animals. Fitting that I'm in the Galápagos right?

They just look mean. And they spit. But luckily they don't really move. So I think we've worked out a nice arrangement. We can both enjoy the beaches without disturbing each other. I can't say that for the other animals we're told that roam these islands. Tbd...
Until then--you can find us here. The place of our arrival.
