Tears of Joy but also of humbleness for your wisdom and lovely soul. <br />Yes, travel is meant to change, touch, you. Deep where "just" pictures, stories and other people's sharing can't reach. You have to go there, feel and love the people, understand their struggles and wisdom and share they joy - many times with the simple things of life - to make you bigger.<br />So wonderful to enjoy it through your eyes, Pretty Nel! When I grow up I want to be you.<br />Love always,<br />TeresaTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706070037835903316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-10539431416871173362015-06-21T20:19:30.643-07:002015-06-21T20:19:30.643-07:00If I were a young person starting out today I woul...If I were a young person starting out today I would sink my money in travel and less in "stuff."<br /><br />And to be a part of these young people's lives will be a lifetime memory for them and for you.<br /><br />Beautiful pictures!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-52633760870661863862015-06-21T16:23:22.190-07:002015-06-21T16:23:22.190-07:00That was a great post, Nel.

I too believe world travel broadens your views and opens up your appreciation towards fellow man. Loved your photos of your traveling 15 in the Dominican Republic, never been there it looks like a beautiful natural wonder, I like how you captured the mist in the waterfall photo.
