“I hate looking at monuments. I hate waking up in the morning and thinking, ‘Oh! Today we’re gonna visit this abbey.’ We don’t do it at home, why should we do it abroad? The only thing I’m interested in is people, views, restaurants, and a clean, warm place to crap, as What’s-his-name said. You never meet real people when you’re touristing.”

I’ve just started reading Phil Cousineau, “The Art of Pilgrimage?” Has anyone read this?

Museums are the go-to example of wasted traveling.

This sounds a bit extreme. Can’t we do it all, and include some monuments?
