Memories of Travel Long Ago

Remember travel?  I barely do.  OK, I know some of you have continued to jet around despite the coronavirus, but I have not been on a plane in a year.  Margo and I drove to the Delaware shore for three days of sea and sand and tattoo viewing, but that hardly counts as travel.

A couple of months ago Margo wrote about a trip we took to Italy in 2000 for her blog Margo on the Go.  In looking for photos to go with her story I found some medium-format black-and-white negatives that I hadn’t looked at in 20 years.  Scanning those old photographs inspired me to go back through the Darrchives and put together a collection of travel photographs from long ago.

Most of these pix are from personal travel.  A few were taken while on assignment for USA TODAY but fit today’s travel theme.  The Italy photos from 2000 are the most recent.

If I can’t literally travel, at least I can travel back in time through these photographs.
