Strange Things We Saw While Traveling

by Maria Ruiz




Traveling allows one to see more than big buildings or strange landscapes. It lets us explore new ways of doing things, new smells and delightful tastes. We traveled for ten years to fifty-seven countries and learned more than we could have sitting in front of a television set. Some ideas and tastes we liked, others we rejected. The hardest part of experiencing new ideas is withholding judgment and remembering that there is no right or wrong way to do many things. We do something a certain way because our mothers taught us how she did it.
