Nietzsche on travel!

My husband found the following website: http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/452786.html and thought you folks might enjoy it. <BR> <BR>It's a nicely hyperlinked compendium of the 19th cen. philosopher, Nietzsche's words on travel coupled with some smashing pictures of lakes, mountains etc...

Thanks you, Sally. You are a class act. I've bookmarked the page so I can go back to it later at leisure. I haven't read Nietzsche since I was in my early 20's (when I had youthful passion and romanticism). He will be fun to go back to and read again after all this time has passed (now that I'm an old cynic). I only wish I had the problem of finding the perfect place to spend the winter! But my decision's already been made for me. I'll be workin' on the chain gang until bossman gives me another break!

Thank my husband Ess! He's the one that found the site. <BR> <BR>Be sure to click on all the links as there are many more pictures than first appear.

There's a path named after Nietzsche which runs between Eze Village and Eze bord-de-mer. <BR> <BR>From the website: <BR> http://www.provenceweb.fr/e/alpmarit/eze/eze.htm <BR> <BR>From the village, you can also visit "Eze bord-de-mer" by taking the Friedrich-Nietzsche path (at the end of the "avenue du Jardin Exotique"), it appears that here, under the olives and pine trees that Nietzsche composed the last part of his work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" (Also Sprach Zarathustra)... this delightful walk takes about an hour... you'll need more time to climb back up!

I once met someone who went on a self-styled Nietzsche tour of Europe -- he retraced the philosopher's steps and then, I believe, visited his grave. I've read a lot of Nietzsche, so I was intruiged. I'm going to check out the Web sites, too.

Did I misspell "intrigued?"

Rosenatti, you did, but frankly if you're going to get all hung up about it, you're doing yourself a terrific disservice (oops, did I spell that accurately?). If/when your spelling gets so bad we can't understand you, one of us will let you know. (Gently.) <BR>In the meanwhile, dwell on the brevity of life & the beauty it offers us while we're here.... <BR>BC
