"The passionate traveler looks for something. What? Something must change you, some ineffable something- or nothing happens. "Change me" Ed writes in a poem. "Change me into something i am." Change- the transforming experience- is part of the quest of traveling... If we could recognize this-suspend the rush to judgment and compartmentalizing. Travel can reinforce the primitive urge to bring the new into circle of the known." - Bella Tuscany by Frances Mayes
