Explore the world of travel accompanied by the art and imagination of James C. Christensen. Whether you are preparing for a trip and need a travel journal or you want to give one as a gift to a traveling friend, you will love Exploration, volume two in the Personal Illuminations series. Filled with charming illustrations, this journal teaches you some cardinal rules that will help you enjoy yourself more while visiting abroad, including: * Travel light--leave the emotional baggage behind. * Be curious; listen more; talk less. * Visit the fish market; notice the gargoyles; talk with the street sweepers. * Sit still in a public place and take it all in. Exploration helps you notice and appreciate differences between cultures--including food, customs, sacred places, local legends, and dress. This travel journal will help you record your experiences, and give you ideas for new experiences, that will make your trip more meaningful and preserve your memories in a delightful way for when you've come home again. Major works of James C. Christensen are available as limited edition fine art prints and three-dimensional collectibles published by The Greenwich Workshop, Inc. www.greenwichworkshop.com Take this book along with you and fill it up with your unique observations about your trip and about how what you observe might be changing you. You can paste in your train schedule, but remember to note in the margin how many women you counted wearing saris, or how many men played cards in each car, or how many children stared at the color of your skin. You don't have to leave the country to use this book, or even leave your state. All you need to do is start to notice how different people do the same things differently. James C.
