My new favorite quote

For the last month, I've been reading The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain. What a fabulous book. He describes a three month trip abroad to Europe and the Middle East in 1867. It is fascinating to read about the places I have visited recently through the lens of the 1860's. I will probably be sharing more with you as I continue reading, but I keep thinking about a quote that I read. One of the things I love about this book is how different the world was 150 years ago, but how truths like this can still ring so true.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Borad, whjolesome, charitable niews of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. "
