Wherever my husband and I travel, we view with an anthropologist's eye as well as a sight-seer. We're fascinated by history, people, customs, art, food, music, etc. I guess you could call us culture detectives. We explore not just the surface, but the stories beneath. What happened to that big vacant factory? Why is that restaurant going out of business? How was that bridge made? Educators and homeschoolers, I encourage you to do this when you travel. Round out your curriculum with practical experience. Help students see the big picture. Help students create travel journals and note what they see.
