Travel Journals

Yesterday, I told you about my new camera.

After a fun scavenger hunt, I'm left with these photos.

Instead of leaving them in a dark drawer,

let's make them useful!

Have I told you that I love to travel?

I keep these little notebooks for each destination I visit.

Before the trip, I write down places to check out like shops,

restaurants, markets, important phrases, basic etiquette,

cultural activities and unique experiences.

During the trip, it serves as a journal and a scrapbook

where I can stick business cards or found treasures

like a leaf, a ticket to a museum or a bus pass.

The prints taken from my new camera will now find

a place in the pages of my travel journals.

But for now, here's what I'm doing

with the prints that I already have:

I'll use them as labels for the face of each notebook.

It adds some visual interest...

And serves a functional purpose, too!

See you again tomorrow.
