Walrus blogger Glenna Gordon spent Rosh Hashanah in Kampala, Uganda last week, and the experience reminded her that for frequent travelers, a holiday can serve as a sort of annual place-marker, to remind us where we were in the world at a given time each year.

She writes: “I can’t think of where I was precisely for most of most months in years past, but I can think of Rosh Hashanah ... precisely and with details about spinach salads with beets and honey cakes, a few times in northern California, a few times in Southern California, a few times in New York.”
