I am saddened to say that I have completed my journey. I visited so many interesting places--Socotra Island, New Zealand, Grand Cayman Island, Gharmi Village-- and I have learned so much. Right now I am sitting in the airport, waiting for my flight back to San Francisco to board. Luckily, this one is supposed to be on time!
I hope that I can visit all of these places again, not only to see the people and cultures again, but to learn more about the tectonic plate activity. The earth is so complex and creates so many cool things, though they are sometimes very destructive. Studying the different types of plate boundaries (Divergent, Subduction, Continental Collision, Transform) has made more so much more interested in earth science. Hopefully I will get another project revolving around that subject! If I do, I will keep blogging about my travels :)
Until next time,
Grace
