It is true my colleague Dave at KVNU accused my family more than once of being “country-a-day” tourists – a thought which boggles the mind, and perhaps insults those countries which certainly offer a great deal more than a mere day trip. Nevertheless, his accusation was justified, thinking particularly of my parents taking me on a whirlwind tour of Europe which included a morning in Rome, a late afternoon in Venice, sleeping on the train through Switzerland, and stopping long enough to click a few pictures of what we thought must be the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, only to discover in a subsequent visit it was actually the Arc de Triomphe de Carousel – an entirely different (albeit still rather impressive) arch altogether.
