On vacation, life is dear to us | Opinion
Avenue of the Giants Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California.Summer is the time to be a tourist. I like being a tourist and taking pleasure in geological truths . I also enjoy the kitschy, corny tourist traps of myths and humor that tickle our imaginations and encourage us to laugh.
We’ve all sat in those giant rocking chairs at a roadside restaurant that made us look like children as our legs dangled over the edge. Perspective plays tricks on us. Sitting in a passenger jetliner and looking down, Niagara Falls looks like a bit of foam scaring the distant landscape but standing beside the falls while listening to the volume of water thundering over the cliff, you’d think the earth sprung a leak.I couldn’t resist. My daughter chuckled, and my wife rolled her eyes.
But my favorite tourist attraction is at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.: the moon rock! On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to step on the moon. He and his colleague, Buzz Aldrin, walked around the place for three hours. Now that is what I call a great tourist adventure., wrote “Life is very dear to all. It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and to watch the sun in his chariot of gold, and the moon in her chariot of pearl.”
