Rome

It is said that all roads lead to Rome. Well, if that is so then they also go the other way. I leave Rome today for home.  Even though I love to travel, it is always great to go home.  The following quote  speaks to that feeling.  " No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow."
- Lin Yutang 

Here are a few other quotes to share.

"Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers.  The mind can never break off from the journey."-Pat Conroy

"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list."- Susan Sontag

"I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world." - Mary Anne Radmacher Hershey

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. - Mark Twain

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." - Augustine of Hippo

"Travel makes one modest.  You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world." - Gustave Flaubert

"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions." Oliver Wendell Holmes

"There are no foreign lands.  It is the traveler only who is foreign." -Robert Louis Stevenson

And most importantly:

"Life is short. Live passionately." - Unknown
