(some places shown in this video may not be included on your tour)Travel Sketching Creates My Strongest memories
Once I have my boarding pass, my sketch book comes out, and with it a drawn map of my country to visit. Sketching and journaling bring back precious moments, learning from museum masters, studying sculpture, architecture, gardens and fountains with folks enjoying themselves. Back in my hotel, sketching local furnishings helps me understand local style. Sometimes I use my I-Pad or I-phone to capture a travel moment and collage images together as my Swedish Kirke (church) detail shown. Best memories are drawn right on the spot. Travel humor is always important and packing lightly as Lisa and I learned on our New Zealand trip.
