Old Roads
I know this is a very old road. Where I come from the old road is not nearly as old as this one. I am from the New World but now I am in the Old World. I really don't know the age of this road. I know there are 2 roads heading the same way that newer than this. To be in places like this I can experience the feelings of real history. There are no tourists here...besides Eva and I. I appreciate the historical sites with plaques and descriptions of significant history but places like this really make me feel the past. I can stand in the rain and not see any signs of the 21st 20th and even 19th centuries. I can walk this road and try to imagine who walked this road and why. I can make up a history in my head of what the everyday was when this was a traveled road. When this was the way you went to do whatever it was you did in whatever place this road led you to. Timelines of history are much different here than where I am from. Where I am from my cultures history is but a few hundred years old. Here the history of a thousand years is evident. I don't know the exact history of this road but I can easily imagine one and that is a very rich experience indeed. I fell in love with country as soon as I got here and even though my actual personal history is not here I feel a deep connection here.
