The morning is a wonderful thing.  Not too early of course, we are on vacation after all.  As the tourist’s day begins, there is energy in the air: we smile broadly, enjoy our experiences and put on our finest airs for the camera. It is all new, all different, and an experience worthy of a photograph!

The enthusiasm, however, can only last so long and the tedium of the adventure becomes apparent.  Our legs hurt (we usually don’t walk this much), our eyes are tired (we usually don’t look this much) and we are mentally exhausted (we usually don’t think this much).  Soon our energy begins to wane.  We smile less and droop our shoulders.

We will still take our picture, but we won’t necessarily be happy about it.
