I liked too so much, the poem by Andree Chedid, I think I prefer it in French.

Today I return to one of my favorite blogs and discover that you are providing for us a collage of places and events and people that you have met and enjoyed during all your travels. I find this wholly enthralling.<br /><br />I'm wondering if those are the "big boats" in the docks of Manhatten? I remember something about the big boats--the clippers--that did something along the Atlantic Seaboard a year or two ago. They so remind me of the books I've read by Hermann Melville. <br /><br />Thank you once again for expanding my world. You bring such a positive attitude--such an embracing of life--to your traveling. You must be a joy to travel with.

Sel...Seems that bloggers are usually nature lovers. Seldom do we find a blog post singing praises to urban beauty. Indeed, cities can be just as awesome. I was born in Hong Kong (then a British Colony) and spent my first 15 yrs. there. So I can understand the vibrancy of a metropolitan centre, albeit at that time HK was nothing near to today's allure. Once I moved to Canada with my family however, I began to appreciate nature and fell in love with her. I wish I can live in both worlds at the same time.Artihttp://rippleeffects.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-84293423044541600832013-06-11T09:28:44.849-04:002013-06-11T09:28:44.849-04:00Vagabonde, I love your photo of Oslo port.

I'm comfortable enough in large cities and I've been in most of the large US cities plus Toronto, Vancouver, Mexico City and Sydney. Still, I/we love the peace and the beauty of the countryside. We did like living in Chicago...but it's just too cold and too expensive for us old retired folks! Beautiful photos!

I love cities as well - especially Cairo! - but I do feel tired and exhausted after a few days and need to get out into nature. Your photos of Paris made we want to go there again - it's been too long. We had hoped to go this summer, but couldn't. So we're going to BC instead - my daughter would like to tour the UBC Vancouver campus, so that's one stop!Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-68219716157404436572013-06-08T15:43:57.167-04:002013-06-08T15:43:57.167-04:00What a Beautiful post!
