Exploring

Whether in the heart of London, Paris or Nantucket Harbor, it is easy to wander away from the crowds and encounter local jewels.  I remember walking with a guide in London last spring.  He was unbelievable in his ability to share parts of London that few travelers see.  As we followed his steps, he led us to lanes where we literally saw no one in the heart of the city.  The gardens, architecture and history that he shared with us were further enriched by the lack of jostling with lots of other travelers.  The same thing happened to me on Nantucket.  Just a short walk up from the village ferry landing where everyone is bustling about, I found myself photographing an exquisite island garden with not a soul in sight. Total tranquility found just a few blocks away from the colorful waterfront action.  Sometimes, it only takes one or two steps in another direction and you will find yourself off the beaten path. I prefer this way of traveling.
