The Birth of Tourism

In between trying to decide whether or not to get the H1N1 vaccine, I took a break to peruse these gorgeous photos on the Guardian site – a gallery of selected images of 19th-century travel from the British Library’s Points of View Exhibition – from the time when the world was still small… Imagine seeing these from your armchair in the 1800s, especially the one of Thebes.

    Hi, cuz: Decided to check out your Blog, to see if you were still with us…. How’s Clive’s Book coming along….? I have been diagnosed with progressive MS, as has your other cuz, Jeannette…but, aside from that, I do hope and pray to read The Book before my mind and body are too paralyzed to enjoy it.
