Ode to the roads we took.
(Even if by the end it felt like the road from Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" which can't be a good thing 👀)

Seen on the road, continued.

With our tandem packed in the box ready for tomorrow's departure, it's difficult to apprehend that this road wasn't just a part of a very long and realistic dream.

A picture from halfway through our journey across

A picture from halfway through our journey across Jordan and Saudi Arabia, while the three of us still look okay-ish. We belong to those losers who have close to zero common pictures from our travels because setting up a tripod (which we don’t have with us this time) or meddling with unreliable stones to position our camera is just too much trouble. So once we win against laziness, we end up with a dozen identical photos. To avoid waste, here’s two in one - like an egg with two yolks.

Aqaba memories from 10 years (no, one month) ago,

Aqaba memories from 10 years (no, one month) ago, when we weren’t sure whether we should go on with this trip or end it at that point (the frustration was at its peak). As I’m posting it from ~1600km further south, we obviously chose suffering.

This series includes a portrait the lady actually asked for - something extraordinary for this region based on our experience. The last picture is, sadly, an obligatory part of any Jordan scenery.

Like in books on ancient travelers we attach an extract on the first week in Jordan from a personal journal. 🖋️

"J’ai vu tant de beauté aujourd’hui que des larmes ont coulé sans que je ne puisse les retenir.

J’ai deambulé, hagard, dans les vestiges de Gadara, où les oliviers poussent dans le chaos rocheux de blocs de basalte d’une cité Romaine effacée par les tremblement de terre successifs. Je pensais à la vacuité des vanités humaines, tant d’efforts, tant de gloires pensées immortelles disparaissant en fragments dans la terre. Je sentais le temps des hommes et des legendes dans ce coin du monde, surplombant Israel et le lac de Tiberiade. Où vieux s’entend vieux comme les premieres societes humaines, vieux comme l’apparition de l’ecriture. Je pensais a un passage du livre Le Guepard qui m’avait aussi emu aux larmes.

J’ai vu la Syrie deployer les hauteurs du Golan au dessus des canyons de la rivière Yarmouk. Immense plateau aux profondes entailles arrondies par les ages, comme un massif de coraux sorti de l’eau, et baigné d’une lumière couleur miel. Par dela les nuage, la masse enneigée du mont Hermon, à la frontière libano syrienne emergeait de façon ireelle.
Je me suis dissout et reconstitué un nombre incalculable de fois..."
