Travel theme: Routine

Alas, the holiday season is behind us and now it’s back to work/school/life as usual, so to put a spin on the post-holiday blues, let’s explore the routine. First up, laundry day on Lake Atitlan.

Next up, slaving over a hot stove… Viking style, at the Brian Boru Festival in Killaloe.

Shaking things up a little, how about a dance routine, maybe a secret tango in Seattle.

Last but not least, the routine of earning a living, be it selling roses in Rome

…rustling up the best street food I’ve ever tasted in New York…

You have to be displaced from what’s comfortable and routine, and then you get to see things with fresh eyes, with new eyes. – Amy Tan

One travels to run away from routine, that dreadful routine that kills all imagination and all our capacity for enthusiasm. – Ella Maillart
