Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for March 18, 2016. 

It’s by William Bartram, an American explorer, naturalist, and writer.  He lived from 1739 to 1823.

 “How is the mind agitated and bewildered, at being thus, as it were, placed on the borders of a new world!”

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

“Change can be exciting, or frightening.  When you visit a place for the first time, especially one that is quite different from any place you’ve ever visited, your mind will no doubt be amped up a bit.  Everything is new, you’re in a learning mode, you’re taking in absolutely everything, and, hopefully, you’re marveling at what you see.  This is what tourism is all about, giving you a thrilling new adventure, with a new place and a new face.  And perhaps this destination is very different.  So, prepare well, embrace the challenge, and have fun!”

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!
