One of the saddest and most troubling of places I ever visited was
Goree Island off the coast of Senegal. I actually wanted to be sick
when listening to the description of the way slaves were kept while
awaiting transportation on the "Middle Passage".

Yes, that *is* troubling. Sadly, sometimes when we travel, we meet up
with some cold harsh historical realities instead of a festive,
light-hearted vacation. It makes us better for having taken the
journey, though, IMO.
