For my money, you can't beat watching nature be nature. Some amazing flora and fauna we have on this planet, and simply experiencing it is sublime.
When my wife and I travel, she always wants to see all of the tat that us worthless humans have built. I want to see all the wonderful creations Mother Nature has produced.
I envy you and what you were able to experience. Please do share pictures if you were able to take any.

Then you are unenlightened.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

In today's world where selfishness is portrayed as a virtue it's good to see there are still some that can look outside themselves and help others regardless of their own situation. Good job Mom and Dad!
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I once had jury duty in San Diego CA. The case was a high profile case, so there were some 100 jurors in the selection pool, including me. We broke for lunch, and I went across the street for a sandwich.
Now, I thought I went back to the same building, but it turns out there are two nearly identical court buildings, and I went in the wrong one. Up the elevator to the appropriate floor, and "where's the court room???"
It took probably 15 minutes to get directions, go back down, walk over to the correct building, go up the elevator, and enter the court room, at this point now in session again doing jury selection.
Needless to say, the judge was annoyed and threatened to hold me in contempt. I was very humble, hand wringing apologetic (very unusual for me!) and he dismissed me from the case.
So I learned another way to get out of jury duty.
I despise jury duty. A "jury of one's peers" is a joke, I do not believe it is my "civil duty", and I also believe I should be able to avoid jury duty on religious grounds -- I don't want that karma!
Incidentally, my only other case was a medical lawsuit. The lawyers had a Q&A period before selecting jurors, in which I made the comment "How are you going to prove malpractice, your client looks totally healthy?" I was dismissed (in fact, they were saving their last dismissal for me) before my toosh hit the juror seat.

That's really an awkward experience.

It's funny because I don't have a sense of direction. I can easily get lost. If you leave me in the middle of the city (especially big cities) then I'm like this: [^]
And that's my superpower.. I'm always lost.

My one and only time on a jury was for a misdemeanor retail theft case. Prosecution included video of the theft and testimony from store security who monitored the clown all the way out to his car. No idea why he didn't plead guilty.
In the jury room - we elected a foreman, voted to convict and signed the jury declaration (12 signatures) in 6 minutes flat. The bailiff said it was the quickest he'd ever seen.

Yeah, I usually go out because I was/had been an expert witness in several cases in Anchorage, involving either gunshot residue analysis or fire accellerant analysis

That's very easy.. Goes like this..
"Judge: Mr. Marois, do you think you can be impartial in this case?"
"Me: I dunno your honor, he looks guilty to me:
"Judge: Mr. Marois, you're dismissed"
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

better watch out, if the judge thinks you're being a smartass to weasel out, instead of dismissal he can hold you in contempt instead.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
