Engaging the Senses - Sunday Five
Sight, Sound, Taste, Touch, Smell.
1: What do you long to travel to see again?
2: What sound of travel awakens you?
3: What have you tasted when traveling, that was never the same anyplace else?
4: What is the most exotic thing you have touched while traveling?
5: If I travel to your town, what will I smell?
My answers:
1: See - Sunrise over the Atlantic on an eastbound airliner.
2: Sound - the landing gear going down - at that point we are less then 2-minutes from touchdown.
3: Taste - a glass of Chianti in Florence, it has never tasted the same anyplace else.
4: Touched - the moon - a moon rock in the Smithsonian
5: Smell - for DC, I have to say water, the Potomac River winds along the side of the city.

ReplyDelete2: What sound of travel awakens you? Same as you; landing gear.
