B Natural answer

Yes. From a trip to Lisbon, I still keep in a small box on my desk. I also saved I wrote to myself on the last day, just to remember what I saw and how I felt. It was a simple trip, but those two things bring back and the slow walks. They are small, but I treasure them because they hold a real memory, not just a photo now.
