Memorial by the dock in Bratislava, Slovakia.
I often go to the Road Scholar information site for hints and helps. We have gone on 5 or 6 tours with them. Recently some one posted their "hint" for getting the most out of travel. They said what I have been pushing all along: "Travel like a pilgrim and not like a tourist".
A tourist might be disappointed when disembarking at Bratislava because of the fog. A pilgrim knows that weather changes there as it does at home. I got off our river cruise at this spot. I had no idea who this person is. Others had gone off on a tour (they report that it was excellent) while I hung out around this statue. Many pubic art works all around. Just to the left in this photo was a beautiful modern mall. I made the rounds having no idea what the stores were named. Sitting for a time I got a feel of a modern Eastern European city. Important to note: they don't speak English but they are just like those of us who do.
