The observations of a transient tourist are necessarily superficial, as of one Whose experiences are merely a series of instantaneous impressions; at one time colored perhaps too vividly, at another fogged; according to the sun or rain at one brief moment of time.
It would be very pleasant to write nothing but eulo gies of people and places, but after all if a. Personal narrative were written like an advertisement, praising everything, there would be no point in praising anything, would there?
