Trips

For many people, summer means travel. There are two main types of vacations, among many: the lounging trip and the exploration trip. Relaxing and taking it slow can be great and revitalizing--one place to try it is on a glass beach or on sandy beaches on an island like Tahiti or Jamaica. California's Fort Bragg is one example of a beach full of brightly colored glass stones.

An exploration trip can be to Etruscan cave tombs in the Tuscan countryside, ie. in Tarquinia for example, or just experiencing the huge collections in Paris, Rome, Florence or London. Of course the USA has some great collections as well--in Boston, in Brooklyn, in Manhattan and in Washington, DC., which just had an exhibit of America's Andrew Wyeth; here's an example above from a Florida museum, it's the 1981 Wisteria.
