About Me
- Mark
- I'm a professional historian, though my real passions lie in the art of photography and the freedom of travel. Armed with camera and backpack, I've visited all fifty of the US states ... and a total of 65 countries on six continents.
Ain't that the truth....?
ReplyDeleteI love reading travel books, but the foibles are way more interesting than the plain old observations.
Yep, it's very definitely true! I know that when I talk about my travels, it's mostly about the mishaps that occurred ... and that's generally the only thing that people want to hear about, anyway. :)
