In 1960, I was about 10 years old, we traveled from California to Florida to visit family. We made a side trip into Juarez across the border from El Paso. That was the first time I had seen someone actually begging. He had no legs and one arm and handed me a piece of paper. Of course, I was clueless as to what he wanted, so I said thanks and started to walk on down the street. He started yelling at me. My dad got the paper and gave it back to him and explained to me that he was asking for money...Later on the trip we stopped at a run-down gas station in rural Louisiana. The bathrooms weren't much more than an out house, but they were clearly marked for 'colored' and 'white'. There were drinking fountains like that as well. Although I was born in the South, I'd grown up in California and I thought that was just really strange. For a ten year old kid, it was an awakening that not everyone lived like my 'Leave it to Beaver' world.

Everyone seems to have been to so mnay wonderful places, and I've been no where. HEre, Chicago, parts of Tennessee, N. Carolina and Michigan are about it for me. But I did see something, if not interesting, at least funny. On I65 interstste there is a sign on a fence at this field of cows thast says 'used cows for sale' we had a good laugh on that one, then outside Louisville there as sign for a tatoo place, tatoos done while you wait. Like whats the alternative?
Not interesting, but funny.

 

Bro. Curtis,

Bet you were lookin' for someone asleep on the fantail that you could wake up and rebuke the wind-n-waves!

Those can get real scary!

 

I once saw a rented trailer sign in front of a Kentucky Fried Chicken that said:


3 Ears Corn $1.00

Mount Rushmore was pretty interesting to see.

 

G'day Bro. Curtis


Most interesting thing I've seen while traveling? Too many things to list.

I love Church buildings, especially when I manage to arrive at right time and have them to myself Saw a few in Tasmania over 150 years old. Beautiful little buildings.

It is impossible for me to pick one single place but in South Africa it has to be standing on Table Mountain, having made my first ever trip in a cable car and also Cango Caves in the Little Karoo. They too were awesome.

In Italy, it has to be walking down part of the Apian Way to the Catacombs and the Catacombs themselves. That was so moving.

In Greece, The city of Ancient Corinth and the Bema from which Paul spoke to the Corinthians in AD52.

 

OK, I was visiting a graduate school near Dallas this week, and I happened to fill up at a Mobil station in suburban Dallas. I also refueled at Exxon stations in Little Rock and Memphis The joy of having a Speedpass , even though I couldn't use it at the Exxon in Little Rock.

 

Are you referring to London's Underground? </font>[/QUOTE]I meant Atlanta.

 

When I fly into L'viv, Ukraine, I see WWII Airplanes at the airport.

 

Tons of stuff, but high on the list are the "Big Room" in Carlsbad Caverns, NM, and molten lava in a volcano in Hawaii.

As for man-made things, once I was stranded in Washington D.C. because of a delayed flight. I was exhausted, irritated, and dirty, but when I got to my hotel, I had view out the window of the sun streaming through the clouds onto the mall and capitol. It was the first time I'd seen our nation's capitol; I've never felt so blessed or so patriotic -- all the previous aggravation just vanished.

Tie seeing the Holocaust museum and then seeing Schindler's list. It will whoop your butt.
