MEMORY -
The stories our family would hear were often told by a story teller well traveled. Though Pete died fairly young, he lived an experienced life inspired by travel. His favorites were Scotland, England and Italy. If you couldn't get out to travel, he was the next best thing next to visiting the countries at Epcot!
APPLICATION -
Haven't seen my husband this happy in a long time. With his luggage all packed and his problems forgotten, Erik is ready! I was invited to teach in Montpelier and decided to go out a week before and visit some friends in Paris. I had passed through the beautiful city before, however never got the chance to explore it. It was also Erik's first time to France. I am more excited for him than myself. He is about to uncover an entirely different part of the world, and I couldn't be more thrilled for him.
REFLECTION -
Traveling to a new place changes someone forever. The good, the bad ..... it doesn't matter. It shapes us into who we are are. Visiting places far away from our normal day to day life, introduces life and discovery beyond what any book or television show could. Travel truly is a portal to self discovery, an experience Peter often shared with those he loved and those who loved to travel.
