My great passion is travel. I live to experience cultures that are different than my own and see what I can learn. I spent the last 4 days in Paris, France and the experience was life-changing. I kept a diary in a notebook and I’ll share some entires here over the next few days.
Above is a video I shot while riding a bicycle around the courtyard in the Louvre. It was totally surreal. The Louvre is a majestic, regal place of such reverance and importance. It’s colosal in size and scope. I’ve seen some amazing things, but nothing else has elicted the same feeling of respect and awe.
To be riding a bicycle around that courtyard felt like kicking a skateboard around St. Peter’s at The Vatican. Not disrespectful, but fun and giddy. I’ll remember those few minutes always. A man playing the flute under an archway (which you can hear clearly at one point) added to the experience.
Humankind can acheive such tremendous things. From the construction of that building to the treasures inside, it restores one’s faith in his neighbor. While we all don’t have The Mona Lisa inside us, we have the same potential for greatness. That’s an astounding thing.
