We'll see. Probably depends on proximity to Snell and Sauber, what kind of
homework I have etc. Might be a good thing to do Mondays, when many sights are closed.

Memory deteriorates only very slightly with age, and the more it is used, the less it deteriorates. Significant problems with memory in old age are usually pathological. Yeah, it's not growing older that causes memory loss. it's having KIDS that really destroys the old brain cells. |

Age is not an impediment to the acquisition of additional languages. its much harder to learn languages as you get older, or any other memory dependant thing. I used to have an almost photographic memory when I was younger. I would say I still have a good memory, but nothing like it once was. It has nothing to do with motivation; it is more or less involuntary. I realized on my last trip to the US that I had left my little address book at home. I sat down to see if I could remember the phone numbers of the various friends and relatives I wanted to call, and realized that I really had no need of the address book. There was exactly one person whose phone number I hadn't already (inadvertently) memorized. I'm always rather surprised when I see someone looking up a phone number that it seems to me they should know, for instance someone looking up his son's phone number. However, when I was young, I used to remember phone numbers and license plates that I had seen only once and had no desire to memorize. When I lived in Philadelphia, I could have told you the phone number of nearly every public office and a large number of commercial establishments, just because I had had occasion to call them at some time or other. Let's say that when I was young, I hardly had need of the White Pages, now I'm reduced to hardly having need of my personal address book. Auto dial features have made the address file more necessary when the feature is unavailable. |

Let's say that when I was young, I hardly had need of the White Pages, now I'm reduced to hardly having need of my personal address book. I'm good at memorizing things I don't need. I know the license plate numbers of all the cars I've owned, even though I don't own any of them now. Oddly, I have a rather poor visual memory. I sometimes have trouble recognizing my own car and I'm hopeless with those of others. If waiting for someone to meet me, I usually recognize the car by the license number. I can't say I remember every license number I've ever had, but I remember most of them, and some of the ones my father had when I was a child. -- Barbara Vaughan My email address is my first initial followed by my surname at libero dot it I answer travel questions only in the newsgroup |
