So, I was looking at various people's profiles on FB today and I came across this quote:
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. -Mark Twain
I lurve it! I have found this to be so true- the more of the world I see, the more I want everyone in the world to have the same measure of happiness, health and freedom I have been blessed to enjoy. Plus, it's a great reason for needing to schedule an adventure!

Twain is just so snarky.
