over the past two years i have thought a lot about my "life list". the list of things i want to do at some point of my life. i have never actually written this list down, but several things are just floating around in my head. things i must do. nothing too original. things like learn how to surf, go parasailing, visit all 6 inhabited continents (if i could somehow jet over to antarctica for an hour, i would, but i don't really feel the desire to stay there for any time at all). other less adventurous things, but probably more fulfilling, are also on the list, like fall in love, and be a good wife and mother.
this weekend i am finally going to get to cross something off the list. go on a backpacking trip. i added this last year when i realized that i could not live in south america for 3 years without ever going on one of the famous backpacking trips with our high schoolers. so this weekend i am gritting my teeth and biting the bullet, strapping a pack on, walking for hours each day along the lake titicaca, and sleeping outside, all without showers or indoor plumbing. haha. i am excited and nervous all at the same time. we shall see how this goes. look for a report next week!
