Two years ago I travelled around Italy with a close friend. When we visited places, we got into a habit of just sitting down and soaking the place up.

We went to a beautiful cathedral in Milan. And we spent almost 2 hours there, looking at every single stained glass window.

When we were in Pompeii we found a sat in the Main Street for an hour and experienced the ruins.

No photos, no phones.

Just us and the moment.

Today we did something similar. We went to an old monastery in Belem. And we spent almost an hour sitting in the court yard and absorbing the incredible architecture.

The best way to enjoy a new place is not by trying to do as much as possible and take all the pictures.

Sometimes you need to just sit and soak it up
