A TOURIST misses the scenic
landscape because he’s too busy scribbling facts from the guide’s monologue
into his notebook.
In a
picturesque historic town, he doesn’t notice the life, the locals, the animals,
the markets, the colors, or the smells - but in the cathedral and museum, he
races from one statue to the next, frantically jotting down all fifty historical
dates recited by the guide, which he’ll never look at again.
