From Rick Steve’s’ most recent travel newsletter — (thanks to MaryLou P.)
And speaking of making friends…my last stop on that Oslo harbor bike ride was in front of the Nobel Peace Center. Parking my bike, I sat on a giant bench shaped like a smile. It made people giggle because you can’t help but slide together…to the center. And from there you can read — etched into the pavement directly in front of you — a quote from Nelson Mandela: “The best weapon is to sit down and talk.”
That little magic moment is just one of countless reasons why I will keep on travelin’. And I encourage you to do the same.
