I had only 1 hour 15 minutes to cross about 137KM. I left late and hopped I’ll get to my meeting in time driving with a driver that already seems bored of the road..
It’s strange how the roads is sided with lovely.. green.. long trees.. but if you peek in between .. you notice the endless desert.. as far as the horizon.. dark orange.. golden where the sun had burned it most..
Its strange how these dune with dark orange color transform passing by all different shades until it finally get to pale yellow.. sort of creamy white as you get closer to the coastal areas..
Its strange when a car come closer to yours.. and you try not to look, but you can’t help noticing the small.. amazed.. faces.. with stupid or crazy smiles.. staring at you.. making funny faces..((how can such a small car take all these “devils”.. Oops!! I mean “angels” inside it)) you wonder inside you..
Its strange how you pass by a sign that say “ bla.. bla.. bla.. woods” and all you can see around you is a desert and a group of shade less, small, not more than a meter long little poor trees planted in raws.. and the whole thing looks like old doormat..
It’s strange the ad’z you see all the way long.. adz for products I have never heard of.. or for products I know for the first time that they make adz for..
Its strange how Big the signs for those adz are.. yet how “small” are the signs that says: “ la tansa theker allah”
This and that.. here and there .. and I keep watching the road .. moving my eyes every now and then between my watch and the short cornered signs that tells how far you are..
And I finally get there.. on time.. only to discover that the meeting was not worth the while.. however, seeing an old friend make up for it.. and make the trip worth while..
Its strange how you go places and see people.. and suddenly you discover a new face to it.. you discover that, even though you have been throw the road million times.. but for the first time you actually notice the road..
