Though the long flights do give me pause.<br /><br />KM, I loved hearing about your brother's time in Korea. I hope you'll feel up to tackling all the places on your wish list.

I've been on a Holy Land tour of Rome, Israel and Greece years ago. It was fascinating. I've been to Great Britain twice, and want to go back, and to Italy and Spain. On every trip I learned something new. <br /><br />In Madrid, my daughter wanted a breakfast with eggs, so we wondered around and finally came to a little corner cafe where we could see he cook fixing an omelet or something so we went in and got a seat at the counter between several men talking or reading the newspaper. We tried to tell the cook what we wanted and he looked confused, so I started flapping my elbows and clucking like a hen. Everyone laughed, but we got our eggs. The man with the newspaper understood English and asked if we were Americans. Then it got into a discussion of American politics to a very limited conversation. We did learn at that time that they didn't approve of President Bush.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-39273886091414316262016-08-29T09:24:44.683-04:002016-08-29T09:24:44.683-04:00My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Sout...My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting South Korea this past spring. Like you, we found the people very helpful. When we asked a woman where we could find a post office, she insisted on walking us down several streets to find it. During our long voyage, which included stops in 42 ports, we saw a good deal of the world. It was humbling and taught us that the U.S. is not the center of the world.

One of the interesting things about traveling is to gain an outsider's perspective on the U.S.<br /><br />I remember being in Africa and was asked where I was from. "America," I said. "North or South," came the reply. Talk about self-centered assumptions on my part.<br /><br />Multiple times on my last trip to Canada I was asked what I thought of Donald Trump. Sometimes before I could answer, I was told exactly what they thought.<br /><br />~ Jim<br />Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-38547149903258120502016-08-29T06:40:59.613-04:002016-08-29T06:40:59.613-04:00What a fantastic trip!

About the time my energy dropped to zero, an older couple zipped past and left us in the dust. As a result, we've been out walking and hiking a lot more since we got back. :) Julie Tollefsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01579825918764925361noreply@blogger.com
