It’s time to make a bucket list. I’ve been researching all morning: looking at travel logs, searching past travelers’ suggestions, learning about every “top ten” list in south and central america, and ya’ll can imagine how happy I was when the Galapagos came up as the Number 1 on the list of “Top 10 South American Wonders.” So, here is what I have so far (I’m sure I’ll edit this list continuously):

 etc. etc. etc.
