Welcome to The Lounge for another week!
Our keyword is Epic.
You can link up just below.
“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
-Gustave Falubert
I have no idea who Gustave Flaubert was, but I love this quote. It make me think about my own actual size, its comparison to the all encompassing schema of existence, the universe…
Incidental? Important? Insignificant?
What is me?
The answer is perspective.
I’ve travelled, just not enough.
Not as much as I thought I would.
Nowhere near enough as I want to.
One day I will.
And these are just a few of the epic places I hope to experience.
The Ganges River, India
The Arizona Desert, USA
Christ the Redeemer, Brazil
The Great Wall, China
Katherine Gorge, Northern Territory
New York City, USA
Niagara Falls, Canada
Ayers Rock, Northern Territory
Red Square, Russia
The Amazon Jungle, South America
I could go on. It was hard to stop, really,
Had any epic travel experience?
Love,
Robo X

Those places look wonderful. Funnily enough, I linked a travel post of an epic adventure of mine. That quote does ring true, doesn’t it. It is nice to think beyond our own little self in this vast world.

Flaubert wrote Madame Bovary….(and according to some, he is who helped make Maupassant great – I would argue Maupassant is great, Flaubert just saw that and helped him get published).
As for travel, has anyone ever travelled enough. I’ve been to many great places but my list never shrinks. Top of my list is Hawaii to see the lava fall into the ocean and Sweden to see the Northern Lights. Where is that lotto win??

So much world, so little money! I’ve done quite a lot of travelling but there is SO much more I’d like to see. I’m hoping to tick off a few of the more epic Australian destinations with the kids in the next few years, in lieu of more OS adventure.

What beautiful pictures. Sigh.
(Thanks for hosting The Lounge. I am linking the only post I’ve ever written that contains the word epic. Once. Not in the context you’re probably looking for. Thanks for letting me get away with it!)
