Folks --- During class on Saturday we want to create our own definition of a traveler (as distinct from a “tourist”). Read the travelogues below and note how these writers travel: what do they do that seems like what a traveler really should do? What do they do seems out of the spirit of travel? What attitudes do they hold that we should emulate? What attitudes should we reject? We’ll build our own “Guidelines for the Authentic Traveler,” and we’ll hammer this out Saturday in class. Come prepared with ideas and thoughts. (the bike trip piece is long, and you need not read it all, just enough to get a feel for the man’s style). -- PJClements
