This is a week long series on travel, a result of my thoughts from my
recent vacation to Cape Cod and Boston over the 4th of July week.

It’s very easy in the current age to ‘see’ the world via photographs, video,
internet and words. It is easy to think you are exposed to it all. And in some
ways you are.

But go to that same place you have seen on TV and you quickly
realize how much more you experience in person. It is the air, the light, the
people, the accents, the birds, the animals, the manners, the food, the sidewalks,
the trees, the smells, the buildings, the events.

They all add up to the experience of knowing another place and reading more of
the book.

Go somewhere and really notice.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.” – St. Augustine – church father, 354-430 AD
