Before she knows it, her ambitions send her off on the wild trip - a voyage by brigantine to Brazil, a steamboat trip the Amazon . com, a hot-air balloon flight over the Andes - bound for the Galpagos archipelago, where she intends to accumulate the live specimens by which she might demonstrate evolutionary theory to the contest judges.
