I selected the image above from Google Earth, because it's illustrative of how perspective influences our understanding of places. This image may evoke a welcoming environment, but it is actually North Africa. The shape and feel of places change as we grow nearer and assumptions are slowly replaced with familiarity. It's my sincere hope that the upcoming trip will be illuminating in this regard for all of us travelers.
I decided to add that I think I'm most looking forward to London. The language barrier for Italy makes me a bit uncomfortable. Of course, being uncomfortable is not necessarily a bad thing. Looking forward to what may come!
