Day 231 -- enjoying a day of fun

Today we wandered about looking at scenery, tides, lookout points and fishing villages. It was a fun day of exploring and visiting. We met others doing the tourist thing -- even seeing the same people at more than one of our stops. This is the time of year many tourists pass through the area from across Canada, the US and Europe. It is fun to talk to them about their home towns and suggest activities and sites to visit here.

I find it interesting that people from very different backgrounds can find common ground at a site of mutual interest, whether geological, historical or entertainment. For a few minutes the barriers drop and we speak to each other as friends -- human to human -- and not simply ignore others or look at people with suspicion or disdain.  It would be positive if we could experience this feeling of oneness more often and not take ourselves too seriously.

Today I chose an older song from a newer recording with a unique pairing on this duet. Enjoy!
