Duncan Wingfield Assignment 3

 I'm not particularly fond of traveling as I hate packing, long car trips, airports etc. I also haven't really traveled that much, furthest I've been is maybe San Diego. I went to San Diego with my family over spring break in 7th grade. It was the first time I'd ever been somewhere that really felt different. Most other places I'd traveled too had still felt relativley similar to home but San Diego really felt different. I remember the thing that really set this realization for me was seeing a palm tree on the side of the road on our way from the airport to the hotel. There was nothing particularly special about it but just seeing this completley alien looking tree in such an unassuming place really hammered in the difference. I'd seen different kinds of trees than what I'm used to in person before but they were always in special gardens or something like that, this tree was just out off the road. No one had ever tended to it or stopped to take a picture of it, it was just a normal tree. This really hit me with the realization that there's so much more to the world than what I'm used to.
