Rick Steves: “If the Bed is Too Short, You Are Too Long”

I didn’t come across anything I didn’t already know about Rick Steves in yesterday’s Bellingham Herald profile, but I loved this quote about the bed. It perfectly summarizes Steves’ relentlessly upbeat approach to travel—an approach we could all benefit from when inevitable travel disappointments arise.

Great quote. I hope you get a chance to read the article I emailed you this week. It’s exactly on point.

Reminds me of when a friend of mine complained to a Parisian waiter that he couldn’t understand him: “You are speaking too fast for me.”
“No, monsieur,” the waiter corrected, “you are listening too slowly for me.”

Jerry, that’s hilarious.
No, monsieur, the food isn’t bland, you just aren’t tasting enough!
Wendy: Great. I’ll check out your story soon.
