A Nice, Cool Retreat

---

Up in the mountains is a quaint little town. It's nice and cool. It's quiet. It was exactly what I needed at this point in my trip.

I had grand plans to explore the area, but didn't quite stick to that plan. I'd done a lot of walking in the heat and I really needed a change of pace. I visited the botanical gardens, took a horse drawn carriage back (fulfilling a dream I've had for decades), and then ... did nothing. I stayed at a little resort (the only time I intentionally had my own room) and my chalet had a little porch. And across from the porch was a little bubbling fountain and garden. So I spent the rest of the time eating, drinking fresh juices, and reading a book while enjoying a little bit of paradise.

This road looks really long.... oh, wait, it is.
