What would I want to experience?


This is the question that my sister-in-law recently asked me as we sat chatting about what I would want to see and do if I were to go on a trip or tour. A good question for me and now that my vision no longer enables me to see very much, if at all, I did not have to think too hard.

When I had enough vision, it was different for me. I could see things close up and enjoy some of the sites through a monocular. Things were so much more fun then and I could enjoy more of the sighted person’s pleasures. With precious little sight now I have managed to find new things to want to enjoy on a trip or tour. The cuisine of the country, the special goods and products that the country in question is renowned for, and churches, of course!

I would also want to visit places that the country is known for: Lourdes and historical sites in France, the Vatican in Rome, the various famous museums in England, and so on. Another passion of mine would be to ice skate on any skating rinks in that particular country. Then there are the beaches, of course. So there you have it, these are the things that I would want to see, do, and experience if I were to go on a trip or tour.
