It must have been the book 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil', or all the Hollywood movies, I feel the need to discover more of North America, the heart land. I have no baggage, I have no hang ups. I was born and raised in Italy. I am capable to accepting people of all personalities, as long as they are good people. I believe that in the world the majority of people are of a good nature, and those are the people I want to meet on this trip.
I love to make connections, whether we are soaking in the campground jacuzzi, or waiting in a museum line, or having a beer in a bar. I love a good story.

Day 24 - Big Bend to Marathon


A definition for ghost town is a town that has more people buried than living.
The town of Terlingua fits the bill. Some say that Terlingua is more an area because the people that founded it where constantly moving to find new mines.
We went to visit the cemetery because the night before there were candles in every tomb and there were folks around a bonfire. Some tombs were of the founders, some were recent of young ones.












This is the land of the Comanche war trails. Their story is like the barbarians in Europe, but as a matter of fact they are still a powerful native nation.
Along the road there were a couple of historical markers about this.

We stopped at a museum about dinosaurs roaming this area. The construction was very innovative and sustainable.
