"I think you learn a lot about a country from its art. To me, it's part of the drama of life. It teaches you that there are places, moments and incidents in other cultures that genuinely have a life of their own." -- Sir Michael Palin, British comedian ("Monty Python"), actor, writer, and travel presenter, who was born 81 years ago today in Sheffield, England. Palin's lifelong interest in travel led him to a new career later in life, from making numerous travel documentaries in every corner of the world to being President of the Royal Geographic Society from 2009-20012. You can see the trailer from his latest trip, his first, to Nigeria here.
