The Art Of Travel And Also The Art Of Writing
In Alain de Botton's appealing publication, The Art of Travel, he distinguishes between the anticipation and recollection of traveling versus the truth of in fact traveling.
When we prepare for, we study travel brochures as well as develop in our imagination all type of exotic journeys, lying ahead of us. When really there, we photo the Eiffel Tower with our friends or family members, their arms slung over each other's shoulders as well as smiling right into the electronic camera. That develops the recollection, the minutes we choose to keep in mind.
Magically gone from memory are the delayed trip, the poor food and also the resort area forgeting the street, where the garbage man banged tins at 5am.
