Travel and Reckoning

Hi everybody. I find that the blog is coming along nicely. You have all shared insightful remarks, many of them concerning travel experiences carefully considered, many concerning yourselves in light of those travel experiences. Upon reflection, all such experience, both inward and outward, naturally deepens and intertwines. When it comes to travel, and to its reckoning, you do well to bear in mind those opening lines for the course: Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you.

I appreciate all your initial efforts. More specifically, I appreciate the appraisals of the Human Rights Court and the European Parliament, the sensitivity to language and to flowers, the frustrations with scheduling and with shoes, the connecting of philosophical argument and thought experiment to what people eat and to how to treat beings that are altogether foreign. Keep deepening, and keep intertwining.
