I agree with you, heartily, imaginary trips and make-believe are essential, as is looking forward.

I am going to hold on to the hope that some day I will find a very long stretch of dedicated bike trails, hopefully some place gorgeous, like France, or Spain, or Wisconsin, Holland. I want to believe there is a mild and safe cycling adventure in store for me... I could handle donkeys and pedestrians! Are there blog posts about your ride in Morocco? I'd love to read more about that!Natalie, the Chickenbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424213130274740719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-2070637647120731192021-11-01T09:55:52.806-07:002021-11-01T09:55:52.806-07:00Map reading!

I love reading maps, revisiting old places, finding new ones, imagining trips, or getting oriented on a journey happening in a book. And I moved a lot, too, so sometimes even a familiar road can feel like a connection to otherwise intangible places.

I can't possibly catch up but I'm looking forward to everything to come. I think we need these imaginary trips whether we do them or not. It's always important to dream and look forward to something.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088145312661308233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-51586008142409482862021-10-31T06:11:51.315-07:002021-10-31T06:11:51.315-07:00I love your idea of how a bike trip might be.

I accidentally cycled on a motorway in Morocco, but there was no traffic and donkeys and pedestrians crossing it, it was brilliant. I used to cycle to work in the city centre as well, but I wouldn't do it any more I don't think.CJhttps://cjabovetheriver.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-68068325120489568962021-10-31T02:46:06.711-07:002021-10-31T02:46:06.711-07:00Those last few sentences resonate so much with me....Those last few sentences resonate so much with me. It really has been such a long season of worry, and sometimes it feels never-ending. So imaginary road trips are a wonderful distraction. After reading this post I used Google Maps to revisit some of the places where I lived as a child, and retraced the routes I used to take to school. We moved house a lot when I was a kid, within the UK and in different parts of upstate New York, where my Dad is from. I'm a fearful traveller now, but the notion of imaginary journeys appeals so much. Along with good, kind, caring things for all of us.
