Travel

 Travel is heavy on my mind these days, since the "virus" seems to be reeking havoc.

I am suppose to leave for India on March 25th, but as the time comes closer and

I am fighting a cold I am not sure this will happen.

It is becoming clearer to me with each subsequent day that I should stay put.

Travel is a part of who I am, I love it!

I have dreamed of this trip for a long time.

So today I am sharing another dream come true adventure.

 It was a few years ago, not too long after having knee surgery.

My "live-in gardener" and I were traveling in France and found

we had an unplanned day.

The host of our B&B suggested we go here.

As you can see it was a bit of a climb and I was so proud of myself for doing it.

 Up the hill we went. Then of course I had to go back down too.

 Walking in these ruins I imagined a life once upon a time

where three brothers and their father each had a castle on the hill.

I wondered about life during their lifetime.

I imagined smokey halls from wood burning fires to cook over 

and to keep warm on a cold winter night.

I imagined dancing and festive gowns.

I imagined rough times too.

 My fantasy's ran wild while walking here.

 And I dreamed of other times and knights in shining armor.

 Excuse me while I share past travel because I need to remind myself

there were other dream come true adventures and I must savor the memories.

 

One of my favorite quotes:

I am grateful for each adventure and still I will dream of more.

They may be only hopping in my car and walking on the beach

or still I dream of an adventure in India and far flung places.

Happy travels, even if it is through reading a book, watching a movie,

or walking in your neighborhood.

Later today: The tour was canceled; so my trip has been canceled.
