Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for February 19, 2016. 

It’s by Kin Hubbard, an American cartoonist who lived from 1868-1930.

 “Of all the unbearable nuisances, the ignoramus that has traveled is the worst.”

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

“Some people just can’t shut up about their latest travels.  Most of us have probably been guilty of this too, especially after our first travels to an exciting destination that really wowed us.  It’s amazing that so many people would rather talk about trivial matters in their own boring life than listen to our fascinating stories of seeing a tiger in the wild in Nepal or Running with the Bulls in Pamplona.  And, when we start showing our travel photos and movies, they act like their hair’s on fire.  Oh well, comme ci, comme ca!”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in February.  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!
