Sometimes I wonder if I’m just being silly or if I’m an uncultured swine... Because after traveling for a while, I tend to steer far away from the ever-present museum and educational-attractions. I think that visiting a few here and there are great – they can be quite eye opening and of course, educational. I will still stop by the most important and influential museums, and do my best to give a benefit of a doubt. But after the first few museums of each trip, be it the arts or historic, my eyes automatically glaze over upon entrance, and I see and take in nothing of importance. I become bored and ready to fall asleep. It’s not that the art and the work are mediocre, usually – typically, the work is amazing and full of history and flavor. Right now though, I’m currently in my fourth week of my travels through Europe and I’ve found myself cringing at the very thought of having to see another museum. I’m always in search of the real and the tangible – I guess I’m seeking adventure and non-comfort. I’ve always learned by doing, and seeing, and experiencing, and not by being told.
