Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for March 26, 2016. 

It’s by Mario Batali, the American chef, TV host, and cookbook author.  He was born in 1960.

“It’s fascinating to travel around Italy and realize just how many different ways they make spaghetti.”

So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine:

“Traveling not only destroys misconceptions and stereotypes, it also enables you to marvel at the ingenuity of people everywhere in regards to where they live, what they wear, what they do to make a living, and what they eat and drink.  We are adaptable creatures, especially when it comes to consuming whatever we can grow, raise, or catch in our local environs.  Trying the different foods and drinks wherever you go is a major part of experiencing local cultures and one of the major thrills of traveling.  In fact, culinary tourism is a popular form of special interest tourism, as is wine and beer tourism.”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in March.  I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  And leave a comment.  I’d like to hear your thoughts too.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
