Julie writes, “It’s a map of Galapagos, which obviously resonates with me as a biologist.  I also spent a month working there on a volunteer project a couple of years ago, and fell in love with the place so hard I’m determined to go back!  San Cristobal is a bit off to the right, and wasn’t really captured on this photo, unfortunately.  However, you will notice the two outlying islands, Darwin and Wolf, on the back of my neck!”
