Also the smell of cigarette smoke everywhere, and strong coffee at the sidewalk cafe, the narrow roads in the taxi, and the trips on the trains through the country. I have visited many countries, but have retained few memories of those times. Must be that we only were able to stay for a week or two. My next trip abroad, I will endeavor to experience more of the people and the culture, and not dwell just on the sights. Thanks for sharing your memories, and recording them for your family and other readers.
