Prayer for Tourists
When I ordered my ramen today the japanese guy gave me this post card and I found it a little bit funny so I thought that I would share it with the rest of you.
Prayer for Tourists
Heavenly father, look down on us your humble obdient tourist servants, who are doomed to travel this, earth, taking photographs, mailing postcards buying souvenirs and walking around in drip dry underwear.
Give us this day divine guidance in the selection of our hotels, that we may find our reservations honored, our rooms made up and hot water running from the faucets.
We pray that the telephones working and the operators speak our tongue.
Lead us dear lord to good inexpensive restaurants where the food is superd the waiters friendly and the beer included in the price.
Give us the wisdom to tip correctly in currencies we do not understand. Forgive us for undertipping out of ignorance and overtipping out of fear. Make the natives love us for what we are and not for what we can contribute to their worldy goods.
Grand us trhe strenght to visit the museums, the cathedrals tha places and castles list as 'musts' in the guidebooks.
And if prechance we skip a historic monument to take nap after lunch have mercy on us for our flesh is weak.
Can I get a Ahmen!!
