Travel is good. I've lived in Spain, and spent 2 1/2 weeks in Norway. I wish I could do more. I wonder if I might be able to do a practicum someplace away from home. I'd really like to live in one of the countries where my languages are spoken, among the natives, for long enough to become fluent. I've lived all over the U.S. too. Well, not the East so much, but California, Illinois, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming. And I've been to Florida, and my family drove from New York to Texas when we came back from Spain. I've travelled more than most people, I would say, but still would like to more.

And I also lament that history is not taught as much as it should be. Not just local history, but the history of the whole world. My theory is that it became uncomfortable to teach history so much once political correctness said that people couldn't talk about religion. You can't separate them and really cover history.
