Adventure awaits across the field—but only because adventure is already on the minds of intrepid explorers.
Where do you visit only in your imagination?

Major landmarks of foreign countries, such as Egypt. Countries, and even more primitive areas in the U.S., where I could see more species of birds.
I use a motto from my Dad: ” a rolling stone may not gather much moss but it sure has a nice shine”. Going on adventures can make this happen, I believe. However, I want to add an addendum: a story I heard once told of a school teacher who had no resources to travel in the summer recess but when the new year started, she regaled the students with tales of far off places that she had studied about and “pretended” to have visited during the summer!
Patt, your story reminded me of something in a sort of free-association sort of way, not necessarily relevant to the question posed in the post. I once bought a video to watch while riding my stationary bike. It was a biker’s view of a ride through Yellowstone National Park. I could pretend I was riding outdoors in a scenic area. However, when I switched from stationary bike to a rowing machine, it was a trip of another kind. When I was moving forward on the machine, it was like speeding up the video, but when I was moving back on the machine, while the video was still moving forward, it was like some kind of crazy amusement park ride.
Yes, Margaret, that sounds like a crazy ride; I think some of the modern music videos speed up things too as well as change locations; difficult for me to comprehend what’s going on. Give me an old Bing Crosby croon!?
