It occurred to me as I typed it, this phrase is irrelevant these days. Plugged in? It doesn’t seem to matter where we go – cell phones are entertainment for all.
Bored shopkeepers or waiters will be on the phone – gaming, I assume. Friends on the bus will be on the phone – editing photos. We aren’t really “getting away from it all” as we can send and receive texts, FaceTime, and of course, communicate by email. This gentleman was having his morning tea fully absorbed with his device. (Isn’t this guy great? I bought a hat like his, but of course, it’s pink!)
Even the fabulous rock house we visited has Wi-Fi and a lovely television. This home from the third or fourth century is fully modernized electronically, and the inhabitants shared their story of life in this fairy chimney abode. I could stand erect in the “family and dining room,” but my husband could not. We won’t be considering this real estate market.
The blending of old and new, recycling at its best, and friendly fellow passengers in time. Travel tribute.
Of course it is pink!! Can’t wait to see it and you my friend and hear the details of your travels.
Love his hat!
What did any of us do before our phones? Can’t wait to see the pink hat! After seeing that ceiling, maybe my popcorn ceiling isn’t so bad?!?
