Re: Mind's Eye Re: Other Countries

Nothing wrong with books,  but they are not quite the same,, pictures are very good but there is something about reality if the original.

I could have put a smile on the end of that post, I guess, as I am
quite critical of the certain things in the USA. I envy your backpack
style- I grew up in the last era of steamer trunks and porters- ah,
well, all things change. Anyway, finding the exotic is a "frame of
mind", for instance Georgia O'Keefe did not travel abroad until she
was in her mid-60's. I have travelled a bit but guess I have brought
the world to me via books, art, music, etc. and arm-chair travel via
Globetrekker or other travel shows which I enjoy but rarely envy...I
think I envy other eras and I am glued to my own. My ultimate excuse
is motherhood having had children at 20, 28, 37 and 40 without
responsible husbands/fathers and that has been quite the adventure and
still is.
