Isn't the amazement of travel going to some place and getting all the diverse reactions that people get? Guess you pretty much get what you look for when you travel. Like the old time walled city...and a man walks up to the gate guard and asks about the city...Well, the guard said, what was the last place you lived in like? People were grouchy, grumpy, etc. Well, that is pretty much what they are like here...And the man moved on. Later that day, the same event was repeated...same questions...answer: The people where I used to live were phenomenal. They would give you the shirt off their back, etc. Come right in, declared the guard...The people here are the same way... (Please excuse the lack of quotation marks...) A trip to a historical place can contain a little piece of whimsey...or magic...but we have to let it happen....
