I was thinking that this morning, about the first time I saw the ocean, at 17 (touched the ocean, stood at the edge and felt the feel, smelled the air), and the first time I was in a castle, in England, and was surprised by the temperatures and sounds.<br /><br />Those thoughts came because of an article someone had linked somewhere. It's not new, and it's not long. It's by someone who was taken traveling too much (against her will, it seems) as a child, and now says travel is a waste of time and the benefits of travel are delusions. YIKES! <a href="http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2009/08/17/4-reasons-travel-for-fun-is-a-waste-of-time" rel="nofollow">http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2009/08/17/4-reasons-travel-for-fun-is-a-waste-of-time</a><br /><br />I contrast that with your note that Emma loves Paris!

It's wonderful.Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121828276851966950.post-24043842015098806632011-04-26T07:15:53.523+02:002011-04-26T07:15:53.523+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121828276851966950.post-16667792382418412222011-04-25T20:48:09.536+02:002011-04-25T20:48:09.536+02:00I read Kathrine Neville's book, "The Eigh...I read Kathrine Neville's book, "The Eight", and learned so much on what you have seen. I know it's just a novel, and not all real life facts, but she did write about it in ways that made me think similarly. Someday I hope to see it, as you two have, and get a deeper sense for the history and angst. It feels funny, sometimes, to be interested in this Revolution and our own Revolution...especially knowing the 'me' of today!<br /><br />Love reading of your adventures.
