Going back to the “old world” requires looking at everything we don’t have at this side of the pond. The first thing that jumps into view is nature.
When you go to The Netherlands, you imagine a tiny country, it’s only twice as big as Lake Winnipeg after all, full of people and cities with no place to relax.
Sometimes you just have to go somewhere and take care of business. That doesn’t mean you can’t have a little bit of relaxation at the same time, right?
This time, I took limited gear with me; I knew there would be little time to stalk wildlife. Even more, I didn’t know what my mood toward relaxation would be.
Coming back from a tropical island into the drab and dreary climate of Canada at the end of winter is quite a shock. Even if you left that drab climate a mere week ago. How one gets used to the good stuff quickly!
For a very long time, I kind of resisted the urge to go on a vacation somewhere else.
Today, everything is about “media”, the more the better. Also, everything has to be mixed together, so everyone can experience it better.
It will sound “revolutionary” if I don’t subscribe to this concept. Just hear me out...?
By now, you must have had enough of tropical pictures. Even more, if you are still stuck in a very wintry landscape with no means of escape. So here is the landscape when I returned from the tropics.
It’s easy to get used to a certain environment, even more, if that environment is an agreeable one. Being in the tropics rids me of any cold I might have, and “cures” a few other ailments that might pop up throughout a winter.
