Travelling — Путешествия (3)

If we are fond of travelling we see and learn all sorts of things we can never see or learn at home. Though we may read about them in books and newspapers and see pictures of them at the cinema.
The best way to study geography is to travel and the best way to get to know and understand the people is to meet them in their own houses. When I was a little girl every holiday that I had seemed to be perfect.
In those far-off days the sun seemed to shine constantly and the water was always warm. All day I played on the sand with my friends. We made sandcastles with huge yellow walls. Sometimes we left the beach and walked in the country.
Although I am now an adult, my idea of a good holiday is much the same as it was.
I still like the sun and the warm sand and the sound of waves breaking on the beach. I don’t want to build sandcastles any longer but still I like sunbathing and the feeling that sand is running through my fingers.
I like travelling. And I

want to smell different smells. I want to see different kinds of trees, flowers and plants.
When I spend a holiday in travelling I always take a camera with me and photograph everything that interests or pleases me: the sights of a city, views of mountains, lakes, valleys; the ruins of ancient buildings. Some years later that will remind me the happy time that I had.

Увлекаясь путешествиями, мы замечаем и запоминаем все то, что не увидим и не узнаем дома. Хотя можно прочитать об этом в книгах и газетах и увидеть в кино.
Самый лучший способ выучить географию — это путешествия, а самый лучший способ понять и узнать людей — это встретиться с ними у них дома. Когда я была маленькой, все каникулы, казалось, были отличными.
В те далекие дни постоянно светило

солнце и вода всегда была теплой. Целый день я играла на песке со своими друзьями. Мы делали замеси из песка с большими желтыми стенами. Иногда мы уходили с пляжа и гуляли по деревне.
Хотя сейчас я выросла, мое представление об идеальном отдыхе такое же.
Мне все еще нравится солнце, и теплый песок, и звуки волн, бьющихся о берег. Я больше не хочу строить замки из песка, но мне нравится загорать на солнце и ощущать песок, сыплющийся сквозь пальцы.
Мне нравится путешествовать. И я хочу вдыхать различные ароматы. Я хочу увидеть разнообразные деревья, цветы и растения.
Когда я провожу отпуск путешествуя, я всегда беру с собой камеру и запечатлеваю все, что интересует и нравится мне: достопримечательности города, виды с гор, озера, долины, водопады; руины древних зданий. Спустя годы это напомнит о проведенном мной счастливом времени.
