This Travel Forum Helps Us Understand What We've Seen after a European trip.
A trip could be thought of as consisting of 3 phases:
pre-trip planning
doing the trip
post-trip research to get a better understanding of what we saw on the trip.
The Forum's purpose is not limited to experienced travelers answering the pre-trip questions of other travelers.
Renee's mentioning Dr. Charney's book on the Ghent Altarpiece is increasing my understanding of that artwork and the theft of parts of it over the centuries.
Lane's posts have helped me get a better understanding of the Ghent Altarpiece and how other artists studied its technique.
Susan's recommendation of the Canadian film Passchendaele, which I've just today viewed, helped me get a better understanding of the unique way in which the WW1 experience affected subsequent Canadian history.
Thank you to Forum members for sharing their knowledge, which can help us have a better understanding of what we've seen and experienced in Europe.
