A Geographic Diary, From Sicily Onward …
Place is subjective, and I’m intrigued by the why, the who, and the how of traveling. Why do we visit new (or familiar) settings? Who defines them, and how do we react, feel, think, shrink, or expand? Is place as expected? Are we? Is it better? Or, is it disappointing, humbling, sobering, surprising?
