Wisdom from the Road #58

On walking

Advise from Mary Schmich:
"Be kind to your knees.

You'll miss them when they're gone."

Lately, there would be times I'd feel a pain in my knee or on the back of my knee. And I'd fervently pray that it would go away and not accompany me especially when I'm traveling. When traveling, I'd walk. A lot. Because:

• I get to explore and see more of the place I am in.
• If something catches my eye, I could stop and take photos. Lots of photos.
• I might discover secret local hangouts.
• I can observe the local life.
• I get to burn more calories than sitting in a bus, taxi, car, or train.
• And, ultimately, I get to save money. I am a cheapo like that.
