As Proust said, travel isn’t about seeing new places but about looking with new eyes. The other day we came upon this curious little fellow, out for a stroll. We were out walking our dog when another dog began barking. Approaching we saw what was disturbing him. A small black balloon with pipe cleaner legs, was walking on Carroll Street. We don’t have big travel plans for the moment, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy all the odd things that life has to offer even if we’re close to home. In other words I guess I’d have to say that I’m always traveling – even if I’m two blocks from home. Which brings me back to Proust. You don’t really have to go very far to see something new. Maybe there’s a little balloon following you.
