But if you discard all this, and sally forth with a leisurely and a blank mind, there is no knowing what may not happen to you. The tourist travels in his own atmosphere like a snail in his shell and stands, as it were, on his own perambulating doorstep to look at the continents of the world. For this reason your customary thoughts, all except the rarest of your friends, even most of your luggage-everything, in fact, which belongs to your everyday life, is merely a hindrance. You have no idea of what is in store for you, but you will, if you are wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in which the gods may offer it. To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.
