The story with the little ole lady just made me tear up!
Glad the experience ended firmly on the positive side for you.

Hi Mariah,
You’re absolutely right; sometimes when travel fatigue sets in, simply going for a walk with your camera can remind you of why you do it!
You might be relate to this post about travel fatigue that I wrote a few years ago:

Thanks for sharing this post. I’ve been traveling for almost seven months now, and I’m starting to get the “been there, done that” feeling as well of long-term travel. I arrived in Morocco a week ago (my first time) and I’ve been struggling to adjust to the culture shock of another new place with excitement instead of weariness. Still, walking down the streets with my camera and capturing the beauty is one of the things that always helps. Safe and happy travels! -Mariah

Hi Adrienne,
Ha ha – you noticed! It’s my piece de resistance….I got it specifically for this trip, from Anatomie Travel Wear….who makes designer travel clothing. It’s not cheap….but it’s totally worth it. Excellent clothing, and it takes a ton of abuse.
Here’s more about Anatomie:

In reply to Ryan Biddulph.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for sharing such a personal story! Indeed, when we see/feel/smell/hear things for ourselves around the world, it is a totally different experience from cognitively knowing a place through reading or watching television.
Happy meditation!

In reply to John.

Ha ha – duly noted. I’m being a bad little tourist. (But not really….I think this IS “tourist Nirvana”!)
