Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for July 21st!

It’s by Ernest Hemingway, the American novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954.  The inspiration for many of Hemingway’s books were his travel adventures in Europe, Africa, and Cuba.  He lived from 1899 to 1961. 

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”

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

“Some people dislike Paris because they dislike France.  Not me.  I think they are both fascinating.     Paris, to use a French term, has its own special ‘jois de vivre’.  It’s architecturally stunning, the perfect setting for a culture that excels in many vital aspects of the good life.  If you are young, adventurous, and impressionable, Paris will teach you many exciting things about life that are worth remembering and taking with you forever.  You won’t replicate Paris anywhere else in the world, but you’ll always remember the ‘bon temps’ you enjoyed there wherever you go.”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in July. I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
