Some of my favorite moments as a tour leader are watching the expressions of our travelers as they first encounter some of these wonders. There is a particular corner where I like to skip ahead just a little so I can savor the expressions as the group rounds the corner and sees the magnificent Eiffel Tower towering above them in all its glory.
I was planning to talk to you this week about New Year's celebrations around the world until I awoke this morning to the news of the passing of a giant of our generation, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. While I make no attempt to comment on the passing of every historical figure of my lifetime, this is one I cannot let go.
