Question of the Week:

What do you notice first when traveling to new places?

I always notice the architecture and the food. In other words, I notice how it looks and how it tastes.

Typically, once I have explored a bit and eaten, my next question is: what else is close by? It is always interesting to see how different a place becomes a few miles in any direction. Are there mountains, lakes, neighborhoods, heavy woods?

As Edgar Degas said, “The true traveler never arrives.”

So, what do you notice first? How curious are you about the next destination?
