As we traveled east from the capital we have been staying at for the past few days I felt like I was on a quest going through middle earth. The beauty is breathtaking as we went through forests of grand pines, then through lush rainforests,through ancient forests with moss spreads on trees, then dropping in endless green valleys. There is only one main road and literally is only one car width wide whipping around towering mountains. With cliffs and valleys sho deep on both sides. Of course it's raining when we go around hair pin turns with only the hope of a horn to ward off a potential fatal accident if a car decides to come the other way. I just want to be quiet and let the beauty talk to me. There is such a wonder and mystic to this country that I can't reAlly put a finger on. Sometimes I feel like maybe I went back in time but then my reason gets in the way, but is that a possibility? The answer to life is all around me. I feel blessed to enjoy it so.
