It's that time of the year for getting out of the rut, and checking out new experiences and places. Whether by car, plane, train, motorcycle, slow mule, or by foot, this is when we get out and look at the world and take a break. New images and colors assault our senses, and create memories. New tastes, smells, views, and feelings occur, that make us feel alive. These impressions we carry with us the rest of our lives.
