[nagdu] Amount of walking was BOOK ON SELF-DEFENSE

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Oh, yeah.  Moving to a new city just so you can go out and discover it by
getting lost is the best.  /grin/  Not everybody gets it, though, for some
reason.  I've learned to get a feel for people before I blurt out my dirty
little secret, because it just scares the willies out of some folks to think
of a blind person doing that.  /lol/

Come to think of it, I've been here in Portland since 2006...  Could be why
I'm feeling like travel is too easy?  Oh, well, there is still plenty to
explore.  I just need to go out and find it.  Thank heavens spring is just
around the corner!

Brian,

I thought I was the only one who enjoyed getting intentionally lost.   
I love doing that; not only do I get great exercise but I find great  
new places I never would've found before and I feel like I improve my  
internal "city map."

I moved to New Orleans in 2003.  I'd never even visited here before,  
and I spent the first three months just getting lost and found again.   
It was a fantastic experience and I learned so much.
