Samantha was able to see this Keith Haring inspired Albertina display this summer while strolling around Vienna, Austria.

While in Munich, Samantha and her husband made their way to Dachau Concentration camp and a special memorial. May we never forgot what happened there so that history will NEVER repeat itself.

Lester, a wonderful piece! I need to put this museum on my bucket list.

When this Museum opened I offered to give some D-Day artefacts from my father. But they had enough to fill the rooms already. But they were very polite and thanked me.

Sounds absolutely fascinating! I definitely need to see this one next time in in N.O. Thanks, Lester!

A gentle reminder that history constantly repeats itself - somewhere in the world it continues today.

With so much disinformation and plain ignorance about our recent history, it can sometimes takes a harrowing experience to bring home the scale of man's inhumanity to man. And to remember it didn't start this way, but with small injustices and prejudices that dehumanise some scapegoated section of society. Beware weasel words.

This market is a really interesting idea, especially since visitors in resort areas sometimes end up eating only what's served, and don't visit local markets. In Hawaii, where there are so many different fruits we don't see in the rest of the U.S., that's especially a shame!

Hi there Pheymont. It was really interesting and different. I actually work with someone here in CO who has an aunt that works at the hotel next door to the Hyatt. While visiting with her, she told us she usually grabs some fresh fruit and veggies every week. She says it is much better than at the store. Look forward to going the next time we are in the area. Thanks for your comment.

Jonathan L stopped to take some photos of the Russian Space Museum when he visited Moscow in 2006

Rereading your essay after several years reminded me how important it is that we not let the 'big issues' of our times and of our past become just words and stories in a museum. It is so important to be in and feel actual places, and to remember that these events happened not to countries or movements or the like, but to ordinary people who were like ourselves. Thank you.
