So where have you traveled that you had your mind opened and grew a few new neurons?

Exploring new places by car up through Arizona to the Four Corners took me to the Anasazi cliff dwellings. The most I've learned about other cultures has been through my visits to all the Native American Nations, like Tohono O'odham, Navajo, Hopi, and many more across the US and Canada whose names I cannot recall. As different as cultures and people can be, I learned that we are more alike, and all connected, brothers and sisters in the family inhabiting this planet.

Wonderful image Teresa. Looks like she has her thumb up, trying to hitch a ride.
I love your comment about all of us being a family. One world, one humanity.
Awesome.

I travelled to Italy in 1990, and that trip still holds a special place in my heart.

Awesome!

What Aldege said. One of my greatest regrets is not having been able to travel the world

I bet you got your bum pinched a lot over there Kristen. lol.:)

Nah, I was a skinny little 14-year-old. The adult women on the trip, however, enjoyed (maybe a little TOO much) getting their bums pinched by our handsome tour guide, Antonio.

I love this series, Teresa, so much fun to solve.
Now that we're retired, my husband and I have been lucky to have some great travel experiences in Europe and - most amazing trip of all, South Africa including a safari. The safari was at the top of the bucket list.
Related to travel in terms of brain improvement, is learning a new language. I read a while ago that people who are bi-linglal (hello, Aldege) have extra connections and pathways in their brains. If they get Alzheimer's, the symptoms become evident five years later than typical. I wish I were bi-lingual, but I do enjoy trying with my imperfect French and Italian, to communicate with people on my travels.

Hi Susan. So that's why my grandmother(my mom's mom) lived to 100 and had all her faculties still. My mom lived to 83 and I have a feeling I'm gonna follow in their footsteps and live to 105. I'm constantly keeping up with my french by talking french to the girls and I frequently say to Niki" voulez vous le humma humma?" lol. :)

This is a perfect puzzle - love the heels. I am not much of a traveler although I love to learn new things on the internet about far away places. I learned a lot about my family history on a recent trek to my dad's hometown.

i believe you learn a lot on this website as well,
great teresa :)

well i USED to look back at my italy trip with fond memories, but now i feel like i missed out because my backside wasn't pinched AT ALL :(

...and funny that you should mention Four Corners Teresa. I just read this interesting article that I happened across while trying to find some surveying information. Think you'll like it too:

Thanks for the link, David. So interesting. I can't believe a good looking dude like you didn't get pinched in Italy. How about when you were NOT in Italy? :-)

Thanks for your comments, everyone. I love to travel, by plane, train, car, bus, I just love to get away. Due to limited resources, I have not really gone a lot of places.

We had a small RV camper that was the family 2nd car, that I drove around the city and we took it on weekend trips to the mountains around Arizona. So nice to explore nature with 3 little kids, and have a potty, refrigerator, bed, and running water nearby.

Nice to have your own potty. The rest rooms that are provided in some camp grounds are not to be trusted. Seems they are a favorite place for brown recluse spiders to reside. Some like to hide out under the seat which gives advance to the rear a whole new meaning.

OK,so you didn't get your ass pinched David but did you pinch any Italian butt,or get punched out by Italian guys cause their wives put your head between their boobs? Come on you can tell us David,were all friends here. :)

In the interest of international relations, I am going to plead the fifth!

LOL. :)

I enjoyed the Pennsylvania Dutch Folk Festival just earlier this month. It was a really cool craft fair with good food. (I bought a case of overpriced sarsaparilla that was sooo worth it!) We also checked out Crystal Cave while we were in the area. It had some really cool history, both geological and how humans interreacted with it.
