Amnon - - seeing the beauty

We were driving to the airport, and Amnon made a comment which really demonstrates “travel maturity,” particularly when traveling in places where you see a lot of poverty, filth, and infrastructure gaps. He said that we have already seen, and commented, and mused about things that we see that are flawed. He is starting to notice and focus more on things of beauty, on Indian touches that you don’t see, even in the US. He pointed out flower plantings, and interesting architecture. He pointed out the airport parking lot, with overhangs of greenery in a place that could have simply been a functional box. I want to learn from him, and make sure that I, too, develop an eye to see the special and beautiful aspects without being distracted by the less-than-perfect.
