SEE THE SIGHTS OF DECATUR!
My mission: to visit all the “tourist” sites in Decatur, IL, my hometown, and blog about what I find there. Why? Because I am recently retired and I have lots of free time…I need a project! Because I have not visited all the “sites” in my hometown…because I love local history and I love being a tourist. And, it sounds like fun….
How I plan to accomplish this: I will seek out tourist guides from the local Chamber of Commerce, Decatur IL websites and other sources. I will visit them all, even if I have visited them before, and blog about what I find. I am fortunate to have been able to travel fairly widely and live in different areas around the United States, some of which are definately destination spots. I don’t claim to have any great insights; I just plan to write about my experiences as a tourist in my hometown.
Will anyone read my blog? Will anyone care? Who knows. Will I care if no one reads it? Doubtful, since I'm just doing it for fun. Right now that doesn’t matter. This idea came to me one night as I was washing the dishes after dinner. I had watched Julie & Julia a couple of weeks ago...that must be where the seeds of the idea took root, 'cause it just popped into my head. Seemed like a good idea at the time…. was that what Julie said???
Here Goes!
