TODAY'S TRAVEL PHOTO OF YESTERYEAR:
The prospect of discovering remote wines in far off places is the perfect delusion of being a first time explorer in Rawsonville's winelands. The stern focus on directions, can make you miss the scenery along the way. And the slow Radiohead song might perhaps suggest that you are the star of an important story.
It was therefor no surprise that I somehow didn't realize how big the mountains were growing as we rounded the bend into the valley. Settling down at a table for a late lunch in the sunshine, vineyards stretching out to the foot of the encompassing mountain, I looked up for the first time, feeling oh so small. But oh so thankful. I get to be the star in someone's story. Not small at all. And how surreal the setting.
