"If you ever want to get there,
you have to hurry up."
"I'm going as fast as I can"
The one girl turns back to look at her slower friend.
"Who thought this was the best way to get there ?"
She said with a smirk
"I know. Not the best choice but too late now"
"Really. You got that right"
As the two sort of walked down the road
one said to the other,
"Who put these in ? Ancient Romans ..."
(Looking down as she walked. So as not to break a heel.)
"I think they did it so you'd have to think while you hobble along"
"Oh, I get it. It's a hobble cobble stone"
" Ha Ha Very funny !!!"
"Next time I'm wearing my black flats."
"You mean there's going to be a next ?"
"Maybe"
At the cafe door were two young men talking.
When they saw the two girls
making their way to them,
they smiled.
There would indeed be a next time.
Maybe not this cafe
on this cobble stone road
but this adventure
would continue ...

Oh, I hope it does. Delightful.
greetings,
There is something special about about walking on a road constructed with bricks or cobblestone, it brings back a feel of the old days.
Warmest regards,
Miss Kitty and Egmont
There will be anext time, I'm sure. Cheers from the defrosting (soon I hope) Lori on Long Island.
Oh the stories those stones could tell!
Sweet story. Thanks for putting a link to Avon on your blog - she does deserve a home after all she has been thru!

Have a nice month february, greeting from Belgium.
i love old brick roads except when i was a teenager in dad's camera and fishtailed on the ice! needless to say, i was grounded for the 3K damage...
We have some cobblestones in downtown Napa area! Now when I walk them I will think of your story!
Great post, my friend!
elegant.
lovely word flow.
Lovely post, as usual. But I have to say that now I have Aerosmith stuck in my head, lol!
Nice freshness, for these
terra cotta, fire brick, cobblestone
paths have taken many of us
into shadows and dark energies.
So nice to take a stroll with you
and the girls, with so much still
awaiting them, flowers not yet
blossomed; thanks for the
warmth and halcyon moments
on this day of packers and
steelers and world strife.
