Some great quotes on travel
I came across these great quotes about travelling and thought I'd share them. The first one especially encapsulates how we approached our travels in India (or rather, how we didn't!). Also a good excuse to put some more photos on from Haifa!!! I promise some Turkey and India ones will come soon (hmmm....maybe as soon as Shanks writes his blog!).
"If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home."
James Michener
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."

With the emphasis on quotations and the building anticipation of an Andrew missive, a quote from Tolkien's Treebeard - "Ents (and Andrews) are not hasty folk!" We still wait with bated breath! Many wonderful photos and it is hard to cull the collection into an 'edited presentation. Good Luck!
