When we travel, we often send postcards to our friends that have a few photos or words about the place that we're visiting. Maybe it's to brag a little bit about the fact that we're somewhere cool and our friends are stuck at home...but at least we're kind enough to think of them, and we wish that they were with us in our travels.
Sending a postcard and taking pictures of somewhere that you travel to is never the same as actually being somewhere. You'll never be able to convey the feelings, sights, smells, and sounds of the moment and the time; however, it's always nice to try. It's fun to have someone to share the important and exciting moments of life with. As much as we'd like to take all of our friends and family everywhere with us so that they can experience everything in the same way that we're able to, it just isn't possible. The stories, photos, souvenirs, and postcards are the only real things that can compare to what actually was.
