I had been told of a road that, when followed, would lead to another road that would eventually lead to water.Today I needed water.
So this afternoon found Darryl and me walking down this road that lead to anther and eventually we came to some old wooden steps that lead down to a riverside path. We followed this for quite some distance and time, stopping a few times on benches and tree trunks to admire the views.
This lasted for about 2 hours. When we took a turn that lead us to an exit, we discovered that we had somehow come out at the Université de Nantes right beside the building where we attend class every day.
It seems strange now to think that all this time this path had existed so close to us and all this time we had never even known it. But I suppose this is the way of things: what before seems impossible to believe now merely is. So too this path.
Now there are plans to walk it again tomorrow and to come back in the near future with books and blankets to absorb the sun and forget that we will never have this again.
