The Spell is Broken

“In Compiègne at the post-office a great packet of letters awaited us; and the authorities were, for this occasion only, so polite as to hand them over upon application. In some ways, our journey may be said to end with this letter-bag at Compiègne. The spell was broken. We had partly come home from that moment.

No one should have any correspondence on a journey; it is bad enough to have to write; but the receipt of letters is the death of all holiday feeling.”

Robert Louis Stevenson – Inland Voyage - 1878

Here ends another summer of joyful travel.
I welcome falls color and cool crisp mornings. 

Share the love my friends!
