Travel.

Go alone or with a partner, but go. Make friends along the way. Enjoy the people and the places for what they are, not what you want them to be. Travel outside your comfort zones and you will extend your spheres of influence. Become a part of the places you visit and you will always be there, even when you return home.

Like the elk at the Yellowstone National Park visitor's center, we can only visit, nibble, leave our mark, and move on.

Itinerant's Itinerary: Home Base

We live in Crystal River, Florida on the river.  We are surrounded by the tropical nature of west Florida.  Here are a few images of our backyard friends.

Crystal River is a manatee preserve.  Here is one off the stern of our boat.  Notice the scars on her back from encounters with boat propellers.

Mangroves and cypress trees in Crystal River

Because we live in the southeast tropics, we love to travel to the north and west.  Somewhere along the right hand column I have posted a slide show of some images from a trip we made a few years ago to Yellowstone National Park in winter.
