When I was travelling, a couple of years ago, I
went to different places and little towns. Indeed, It has been the most weird
travel experience so far.
I went with a friend, we knew a variety of
personalities, once we asked a man for a directions in a village but he was as cold as ice, he didn´t say
anything, so, we tried to look for someone else, but most of them seemed good-for-nothing and sometimes
some of them were barefaced liars.
Even when they knew that we needed very important information, they were hard as nails.
Finally, we moved on from there and continued
our trip, this time we arrived at a town where the people were like average Joes and plain Janes, nothing
exceptional. It was a rather boring places.
I was so disappointed, and sometimes I was a cry-baby, I started to go out of my mind.
We were losing the way, we couldn´t get to our
principal destine, but we went ahead and we arrived at another town, bigger
than the last one. In this place we found a very kind woman who helped us a
lot, she was a barrel of laughs
sometimes. It was very good for me at that moment. We stayed there a few
months, maybe three, but the last day when we were leaving, my friend slipped
and fell down in a swimming pool, she didn’t hurt herself fortunately, but she
was a laughing stock!
