Becoming somewhat accustomed to Granada I thought that would desensitize me for seeing great things and great places. But when I first arrived in Madrid I thought that it would kind of be like Granada and I wasnt that excited about it because I had France to look forward to. I was wrong. I am definitely not desensitized and Madrid is not like Granada. I dont think anyone cannot be amazed by beautiful things no matter how many places they have been to and how many things they have seen. I was reading through my Spain guide book and found a couple of quotes that I really liked,
¨Globe-trotting destroys ethnocentricity. It helps you understand and appreciate different cultures. Regrettably, there are forces in our society that want you dumbed down for their conveniences.¨
¨Travel changes people. It broadens perspectives and teaches new ways to measure quality of life. Rather than fear diversity on this planet, travelers celebrate it. Many travelers toss aside their hometown blinders. Their prized souvenirs are the strands of different cultures they decide to knit into their own character. The world is a cultural yarn shop, and back door travelers are weaving the ultimate tapestry!¨
