Travel is fatal to prejudice
There is a Mark Twain saying, “Travel is fatal to prejudice.” I have always liked Mr. Twain’s quote and find much truth in the remark. This last weekend Mr. Twain’s quote hit me in the face as I traveled and spent time in South Florida. I travel frequently to Florida and much like other northern weather refugees; I wear blinders and see only the sun, water and the recreation I want to experience.
