Creating Other Lenses

Recently my husband and I traveled to Dublin, Berlin, the UK, and Amsterdam. He dubbed the trip as “appetizer, salad, entrée, and dessert”.  

While in Amsterdam, the dessert part of our trip, we passed by the sign in the window shown above “The world is a book & those who do not travel read only one page.”  Considering our previous couple of weeks’ journeys, that idea resonated with me.

Traveling alters our usual lens and gently insists that we see the world differently. 

This first  week of 2026 seems an opportune time to give context to my experience. I will use my observations about transportation in these very different cities as a jumping off point for reflections on how traveling expanded my world view.  Come, and journey with me daily this week!
