You can't ever exactly revisit a place
Be a collaborator
Speak up when it will be helpful
Bite your tongue when your comment isn't useful
Leadership - even wonderful leaders haven't been able to fix everything
Every generation sends young men and women to die in war
Crocodiles are smart and good parents
Beauty in the smallest living things - and those living beings are going extinct
Landscape architecture - preserve it = Olmstead parks; visit Franklin Park
Memorials - emotional but I need to re-read Catch 22.  Kids showed how context changes what you see there
Air and Space - Enola Gay displayed like a proud trophy
Renwick - Jon's Consigli building restoration
Integrated Housing timeline!

Beautiful song lyrics
Being hustled in Times Square
John's existentialism

New York 10/16

My cousin Rose is aging with such dignity and fire
The SI Ferry! THe smells, sounds, sights are in my heart
911 Museum stories of bravery
Tenement Museum stories of bravery
Diane Arbus - images and lessons from the street people
Broadway still thrills me

poverty
locals live harmoniously..
John needs quiet time away from me 
I need time to adjust to a new place, language, culture
Friendly workers, but I felt uncomfortable so rich to their poverty, so white
snorkeling - take a challenge,
really listen to directions,
don't depend on anyone else to look out for you]]> 2016-04-12 17:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aschiragatoo/learnfromtravel/wish/105378105 Iceland aschiragatoo https://padlet.com/aschiragatoo/learnfromtravel/wish/105378805
patience and discomfort were necessities for experiencing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights
take a short nap to catch up time zones
plan more time for exploring and BEING there.
tribal congress to recite the law every 3 years!
kind guests
simple accommodations are fine!
try new food and drink - brandy??
dress in layers
know your limits -windy frozen waterfall

Reunion means meeting new friends that seem somehow familiar.
Time changes places and people - better and/or worse; or just different
You can't exactly revisit a place.
The sounds, sights, tastes and smells of home remain deeply alive inside me
More than the place, the ties to people last
Give affection - enjoy who the person was and who s/he has become
Things are smaller than they were, but SI is bigger than it was 
Feel pride for the school surviving, adapting, and thriving in the new realities of No Shore

Beauty in Fall leaves and blue sky
Mist in the mornings on the farm
Delicious light on storefronts in Hudson - like an Edward Hopper painting
FDR and Eleanor - teach us to reach way beyond our limitations to face problems and join with others to solve them.
West Point - a long history of leaders, strategists, warfare in every century. Builders from Italy made the interfaith chapel in less than half the time planned in order to to earn their citizenship
I need quiet and dark for restful sleep
Popcorn and apples with friends is a grand supper
