Run on beside me and away we will go, Down to the water where the water is cold, Bring all your money then throw it away, Those three words get easier to say November 3, 2011
If I had to sum up life for the summer in a post, it’d resemble something like the Transfăgărășan road, and the stark differences in seeing it in real life vs. the lens of a navigation system.
It’s had its twists and turns and excitement, not to mention a brilliant vibrancy. It’s the difference between seeing something from a wiki page and actually being there.
Ceaușescu built the ‘road to nowhere’, over the Carpathian Mountains — We stumble on it by accident, logic to us to go ‘this way,’ navigation system told us to go ‘that way’, ‘that way’ wound up being a breathtaking drive which culminated by heading down this road filled with switchbacks — Little did we know the road was only open 2-3 months out of the year due to snow fall.
Transylvania is just as eerie or more so than all the folklore tells — Dracula, majestic falls, and a culture not yet touched by homogenization, its amazing.
What we saw, touched, tasted, smelled and felt
What it looked like on the navi, I’ve always thought this is a machine takes the excitement out of a trip, but this time it lead us there.
