The roads through Burgos Are state of the art...so long as you are behind the wheel of a car or truck. Pilgrims wear a track along the roadside.
Abandoned carwash. When times get tough, people always cut the luxuries. Now they clean their own cars.

"A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step" --Chinese philosopher Laozi. Likewise epics can be built out of tiny scribblings. In early 2012, I wandered Europe writing posts on what I found interesting for friends. By the end I had written the equivalent of a 1000-page book. My readers had journeyed with me and so did not ask: "how was it?" Instead we discussed what it meant. I continue scribbling. Mastodon
