Your upbringing and city life made you a much different person that someone like me. <br><br>My little community had 800 people. The fact that they were all emigrants and from different European countries was lost on me back then. It took we many years as an adult to understand about how we were from different cultures. <br><br>We did not have black people in that little town but the railroad porters would have a layover there. However I never saw them in our restaurants or on the street. I have no idea where they went. Strange that I would notice that after all these years. <br><br>I did not move back to that village when I graduated from college and have spent the rest of my life filling in the blanks. Travel has been a real eye opener for me. I love to go and I love to talk about it. I want everyone to love it as much as I do.

We traveled with our son who is an international educator a lot of the time. We felt very secure when we were with he and his wife.Barbara Torrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114209481329773753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-56422609817147240962015-12-19T11:10:27.417-08:002015-12-19T11:10:27.417-08:00I know people that share your daughter's prefe...I know people that share your daughter's preference.

Love to try different foods, learn some words, read books on the destination. Made me feel more comfortable and made the trip last weeks, not days. Third world countries... Hate that term, but whatever... Showed me you don't need a lot to have a happy life or a generous spirit or good manners.Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-10923349780767704602015-12-18T14:20:04.268-08:002015-12-18T14:20:04.268-08:00I don't think it's either or....or staying...I don't think it's either or....or staying home. All three attract me at different times for different reasons. I lived in Mexico (Oaxaca) and have been back many times--it gave me my home style---color and eccletic---been that way since my first apartment. I never really thought of the Bahamas as exotic though i do venture outside the resorts a lot. Same with Cancun but Isla de Murjes---that is amazing. I lived in Israel---another type of trip altogether. The former Soviet Union (went 3 months before the first McDonalds) was the strangest trip. Aside from Moscow and St Petersburg I went to Sochi and Tibilsi Georgia (only good food)---places I had never even heard of. It was a tour---not something I'm crazy about but unless you were going to see family the only way you were allowed to visit then. Turned out to see the same therapist as a psychiatrist who was closest to me in age--I was young then. Had to keep her from spending the night in ST Petersberg with two men that really wanted to take advantage of us but she didn't see it. I'm adventerous but had long since been over one night stands. And we were leaving in the morning--not easy to change planes. As a single woman I have to be practical and apparently practical for others<br>Europe has my heart. I love British and Scandanavian mysteries but it's the walking and the ability to be on my own and meet up for dinner that really gets me going. Not a museum person here but thereI will go for an hour....and churches and history and...so much. My parents had been everywhere Americans were allowed then and instilled in my sister and I a love for travel that knows no limit. My 21 year old niece is going to Paris on Christmas day to see her French boyfriend--met him during her junior semester abroad. I hope she's able to work in Europe and that she will have the opportunities we had plus many more. We all might move there---America's the third world country now.piahttp://courtingdestiny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-69002165057221699982015-12-18T14:00:16.154-08:002015-12-18T14:00:16.154-08:00I love to travel too.
