This is a great piece. As you see every spot or situation it’s hard to have the child’s fresh view of these events in a time line that is long. Fighting against the “jade fade”I call it is key. Your young friend yells let’s go to Tulum your thinking “I’ve got that T-shirt and it was so and so in 1983”. This is when the calcium builds up and people start to see only that that they have seen. Even if they are at that place in reality in real time.As a continuous traveler I just want to be awake. Even in my own town I see new things I’ll walk North Beach in San Francisco and stumble on the new owner at the Alfa Romeo shop talk about the new cars and feel it’s fresh. I’ve past here 300 times. Stay awake it makes it so much more fun.
