For the second time in 2 weeks we visited the museum/home of a famous Latin American artist. While teaching Spanish I always showed works by Colombian Fernando Botero. And yesterday I made new friends at the Museo Botero. #boteromuseum #bogota #colombia #slowtravelling

I worked on 4 languages in part because I visited the countries in which the language was spoken. Retirement can be grand.

2 things that impress me about #Türkiye: tea & calm. Tea must be something Turkish people use as a reason or excuse to slow down & hang out. Slow travel = slowing down & seeing more of one’s surroundings.) Every mosque is welcoming. #Turkey @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Two things that impress me about #Türkiye: the tea & the calm. Tea seems to be something Turkish people use as a reason or excuse to slow down & hang out. Slow travel means slowing down & seeing more of one’s surroundings.) Every mosque we visit seems so peaceful, calm & almost welcoming. #Turkey
