Today we went on an adventure to visit the Roquefavour Aqueduct, and an adventure it was. We got up early and took the bus as close as we could get and then proceeded to go on a 5kilometer hike to the site. My friend Josh and myself got a bit turned around on the way there, but between the maps and speaking with a native we eventually made our way to the train tracks.

On our pathway cars and cyclist of all kinds past us by with great hast; some drivers / cyclists smiled while other’s were bothered to have to slow down for pedestrians. The weather could not have been more perfect. The scenery is simply amazing this time of year. If they had a time-share, I would definitely be interested.

Even though the hike was a bit more than I expected (and my shoes smaller than too), I appreciated the nature and conversation. I saw rock structures and beautiful gated homes that one might call a mansion. I saw a school for boys only in the distance, and several communes alongside the path way.

We played the “Six Zero Eight: Transcontinental Compilation” through my external speaker for some of the walk, but mostly my friend Josh and I just talked. Josh is one of my best best friends in the entire world and I simply haven’t seen him in person for almost a full calendar year, therefore it was great to finally catch up in person.

Once we got to the site, it was truly an amazing spectacle. To realize that such an old structure could still be standing. To realize that such an old structure actually had a functional and critical role of southern European people.
