Waiting for a flight home at LAX. My travelmate is irritated by the foreigner talking loudly on his cell phone.
I'm enchanted b/c I want to go to that country and imagine that trip would full of loud conversations in that language.
This domestic trip to New Orleans opened my eyes to how sheltered Americans are.
Although the French Quarter reminded us of so many other international cities, it was still US. Perhaps NOLA's popularity is due to its accessibility; it is a more affordable and safe alternative to Europe.
Well, my biggest lessons came from traveling with a woman old enough to be my mother. Having friends who are different always give me perspective.
Looking forward to the next trip, loud conversations and all.
