Read the first three chapters of Alain de Botton’s The Art of Travel

For your post, write something in response—a reflection on his themes, a little story illustrating one of those themes, etc.  This book is one of the inspirations behind our tutorial (as you can tell by the title). You may be able to find it in a bookstore (hopefully you did so before leaving the States), but if not, it is also available online through the NYU library by going to this link. You may need to download a special piece of software to access the book.  If you're having trouble accessing the book via the NYU server, you can find pdf versions of the firs three chapters here.  

Remember to scroll to the Art of Travel in the "classes" box and to "de Botton" in the "topics" box. 

Include a picture, either from another website or one of your own, that somehow relates, even indirectly.
