It's usually something not very expensive that speaks of the place that I'm visiting.<br /><br />On the t-shirt front, I have an opposite shirt tale. I've worn the same Ga Tech sweatshirt in almost every cold weather travel photo that I've had taken. That sweatshirt has really been around and could tell a few tales.
