Favorites
Looking back on our trips, we frequently flash back to and talk about our favorites. I am sometimes reminded of the game Robert Redford played in the film The Way We Were as they would quiz each other on their list of memories of life together... and realistically, I look more like Brad Pitt than Robert Redford, but Jeff sure does look a lot like Babs... LOL !
Each of us have different moments, memories, and pictures that will forever be etched in our mind as THE BEST ... they are THE MOMENT, and they become icons of our experience, infused with cultural snippets of olfactory, auditory, and other sensory sensations. They have the ability to transport us back to that time; that place; and that moment.
This time we're going to post them on the blog.
And the winners are:
