Currently reading... 'Neither Here Nor There' by Bill Bryson
A great quote about travel from the book:
"I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses" -Bill Bryson
(what a cool perspective on travel! I think I wrote a blog a while back saying similar things about how I kind of love just wandering around a new city not really knowing where I am or where I'm going but just enjoying getting "lost". Sometimes you come across some very cool things and experiences that way!)
Awesome quote!! This book is still on my list of books to read... Did you see Mr. Bryson has a new book called "At Home: A Short History of Private Life"?? Looks like another good one :-)
