There is nothing like a new notebook to mark a change in direction. Sadly, my favorite Pentalic was not available, so I am trying a Leuchtturm1917. “TheTravelsketcher’s Tuesday” is evolving into “Thoughts from theTravelsketcher” which will most likely be posted on Mondays, except when it is not.

Phil Rosenthal encourages people to travel by saying, “Shouldn’t we be friends with people from all over the world? So just go…”

I heartily agree with him, then I would add, “So welcome people from all over the world to your part of the world.”
