One Reason I Love Traveling

Since my recent trip to London I've come across a couple references to places I visited while there.  I love the feeling of knowing a place from memory and not just from pictures.  Last week I finished reading the latest Shopaholic book by Sophie Kinsella.  Somewhere in the middle of the book Becky Brandon finds herself walking to Piccadilly Circus.  I couldn't help but smile to myself as I was able to picture exactly what this looks like.

This morning I watched an episode of Doctor Who where the Doctor saves London from an alien attack (gotta love British Sci-Fi).  In the episode there is a scene that shows the Tower Bridge and then turns left to pan up to view the Tower of London.  Again as soon as I saw the Tower Bridge I immediately recognized it because I stood in that exact spot and saw that exact view.

These little things make me happy.  It makes me want to travel more and experience new things.
