I took a moment - stopped and thought about just how many generations of experience, life, emotion and circumstance I had just walked through.
It's this moment that keeps me interested in history. Often overwhelming and always offers perspective.
Some people will probably smirk
Yep.
This seems like a really great place for so many reasons; Its own history, the way it came about, and the way it keeps the past alive through the items within it. We are all products of before and sometimes it's valuable to wander through the lives of others through items they used, owned and valued.i would love to go here.
History doesn't unfold through text books alone...It is alive and comes alive through the items like you wandered through yesterday and through our imaginations. It's a link to other times and places and, quite clearly, can be very interesting as you have shown us through Romantiques.
Very legit post. I lost could at how many times you typed history but never lost the smirk.
So you mean to tell me that you don't waffle and waffle on and on and on about it for ever and a day after seeing such "things" haha!
uhuh! ;)
It REALLY was a GREAT place - I could have done individual posts on each damn section, truth be told... lol, but I don't have enough historic knowledge to do so... DOH! :D
I waffle...You know it.
