Welcome to The Mary Go Round, a place where you can read journal entires created for my dearest friends and family. TMGR exists because Gary, my best friend and life partner, took the time to name and design this site. (Muchas gracias mi amor.). What should you expect from TMGR? Honest words, interesting images, and occasional references to physical and emotional struggles as I navigate my surroundings and try to make sense of me, my relationships, and my life on a ship. I’ll do my best to describe—in these entries that are often out of chronological order—where Gary and I go, who we’re traveling with, and what’s going on in our lives as we make our way together in this beautiful, complex world.
