Writing As Transportation

Writing does transport me to some other place. It can be on the ocean, in a castle, or in a night club. Regardless of the genre, it's good to take these trips to expand and clear the mind of our daily routine.

My spouse and I used to imagine that we were in a particular city. We would imagine that we were doing activities that we don't find here at home. I would read up on the city or country and pretend that we were part of the culture and citizenry. This also whet my appetite to learn about other cultures and languages. This is another part of my education.

I am current debating between learning Spanish or Portuguese. The languages are similar but there are some differences. Some day maybe I can write something within those settings.
