On travel
Be it a simple trip to Grandmas, or a jaunt across the world, your travels live on in your memories and pictures for years to come. Life moves too fast, so do not wait for ‘that perfect time’ to travel and see the world and its many amazing sites.
On May 1st, one of my own childhood memories will no longer be experienced by future generations. Venice bans pigeon feeding in St. Mark’s Square. If you have ever been to Venice, Italy, you will recall St Mark’s Square. The main gathering point and piazza in this floating city, St. Marks Square, or Piazza San Marco, received a nickname from my brother upon our second visit in 1999 - Pigeon Square. A lucrative business was selling corn seed to tourists who would in turn feed the seed to thousands of pigeons by now trained in this pavlovian relationship. Only specific vendors had this license and it has been a century-old tradition to buy the seed and lure the pigeons to your hand for a photo opp.
However, this 90-year old business ended earlier this month in an effort to clean up the city and decrease the negative impacts of thousands of these birds. I agree with this decision in principle, however at the same time reflect on how traditions disappear each and every day and that you must enjoy them before they are gone. Make sure you catch yourself the next time you say you will ‘wait until next year’, or ‘do it when you are retired’. You never know when a tradition, or even a complete town or attraction, will disappear and you miss an opportunity for a lifelong memory.
See the world!
