WordPress Daily Prompt: No thanks

Is there a place in the world you never want to visit? Where and why not?



A September Walk through Solothurn


No, how could there be? If I have never been there, I could not judge it. Believing newspapers, television and reports from others, is not my thing. I like to see it for myself and make my own judgement. So much is distorted in the news we receive.

I have travelled enough myself, seen other countries, and they all have their own charm. Even the boring street photo above from our local town of Solothurn is not so boring as it seems. On the left a wall belonging to the seat of the French Ambassador to Switzerland some time in the 16th/17th century. Over the years renovated and improved and now a restaurant with outside garden. Further down the street on the right, the back entrace to our theatre. You cannot just look at the surface, but you have to scratch a bit to find the details. Oh, and part of the road surface was renewed with cobbles to match the town origins. One of the oldest towns in Switzerland, founded by the Romans.

So the word “never” does not exist for me. Try it out first and if it does not suit you, then move on.

  1. Good advice Pat.

    I am guilty of saying I never want to go there, with LA and NY in my mind.I couldn't stand the "Bah-humbug".
