I don’t play the part of tourist very often, especially around here, where we get tourists all year long. Besides, I’ve lived here for 11 years, so I think by now I’m classified as a local.
A few weeks ago, my friends told me about a free tour of Ed Ricketts’ lab, which is not open to the public. I decided, for once, to be a tourist., so I went on the tour over the weekend {and it didn’t last three hours!}. It was pretty neat to see where he lived and worked and learn about the history of the building.

I think I need to read Cannery Row again. And be a tourist more often :-}
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. ~ John Steinbeck
