I'm not well-read, so I don't drop book titles very often (not having
read many of those things - books that is), but one of my faves is
Under the Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles (who was quite a photog, BTW,
and had at least one book of photos published that I'm aware of).  One
of the characters (can't remember which) was quite adamant that (s)he
was "a traveller, and not a tourist", as they trekked about the Middle
East/Northern Africa.

Your comment reminded me of that book.

cheers,
frank
