Travel writers are a weird bunch of people who tend to think too much.
They travel and write to make a living (or a vague approximation of one), but sometimes it seems as if they don’t enjoy either activity very much.
They write fact, they write fiction and sometimes they write both in the same paragraph. They consistently come up with the most creative and original excuses for missed deadlines in the entire publishing industry.
During our recent field trip (Dallas) we were browsing trough the Dallas Museum of Art and discovered “Placenotes”.? Claiming to be ” a new kind of travel guide”, we were highly entertained!? Each box contains flashcards, about the size of a passport or larger, with a color photo of a area of interest on one side? and a summary, map, and pertinent information about that site on the reverse side.? Best of all, we were both able to enjoy the card deck at the same time!
