Dear journal, I have finally made it to the Yucatan Peninsula, in the morning, a lookout screamed “Land!”. The Yucatan Peninsula is the first piece of land I have ever seen in forever!

character is a proud woman who is very appreciative of the smaller things in life, as shown by her use of exultant mood. For instance, she shows pride in unique cities and the stories behind them including her hometown: You go through miles and miles of flatland country – and then suddenly, there they are, snow- capped in all their majesty. Oceans and beaches – the Gulf side of Florida, down around Naples and Sarasota, with green, green water. And my own part of home – pine forest country, dense
