One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept on a blanket under the open sky deep in the Sahara. Waited silently for a passing family of monkeys in the upper Amazon. Looked over the top of Iquazu Falls. Dog sledded in 6 feet of snow in Tierra del Fuego in the middle of winter. Warmed my bones with a 'hot tottie' from my adopted Irish mama. Watched an iceburg crumble in Calafate. Burned my feet on the sands of the Greek islands. Sipped real espresso over looking the cliffs of the Amalfi coast... the prize winner- eaten meals and shared conversations with beautiful, real people all over the world.
