Q1 via travel_edits: Which journey made you feel SMALL within the planet?

• mobilelawyer: Crossing the Pacific by cargo freighter. 18 days of nonstop movement to get across. Massive ocean. Tiny people
• Drafted_Boy: Physically the Great Wall of China - imagining that it was built by hand was mind boggling 

Q2 via mobilelawyer: Ever taken a religious pilgrimage or had a visit to a religious/spiritual site move your soul? 

• RayJGordon: Many temples in Kyoto
• TippettPR: Visited Assisi and Chapel of St.Francis. Peaceful, beautiful, humbling in it's simplicity

• TravelProducer: The Wailing Wall in Israel, Tabgha in Galilee Region, and Sierra Blanca in New Mexico. Total Spiritual Awakenings! 
  
• TheAlexLop: Haven't been yet, but I'm sure Machu Picchu is going to make me sob like a baby

• sinefm: Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys or Legend by Bob Marley and the Wailers
