Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I can remember, and remember more than I have seen. Benjamin Disraeli
I'm back and that means the "365" can resume! :)
I've just spent the past few weeks traveling parts of Italy and Greece with a stop in Turkey as well. I saw today's quote a while back and held on to it until now because of how true it is. And if you have traveled outside of your normal domestic country then you know it's true as well. It's why we take pictures, maybe more than we need to and of things we maybe wouldn't at "home". We do it to try and jog our memories about the things we have seen because it was so much, perhaps too much, to really remember. That's why it can be fun to travel in groups because everyone remembers something different and you throw it all together and almost a complete picture of the trip comes out!
And then there's the moments that happened that you didn't really see but somehow you did and however they happened may be slightly skewed because your mind and heart were so busy trying to take in so much.
A great traveler will always have 98% true to life memories of the trip and 2% exaggerated memories and the combination of that always makes it 100% amazing.
Here's to wandering the world!
