But we're glad we had the opportunity to see those places. Couldn't have done it any other way.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-46925474735170883992014-10-12T06:25:17.919-07:002014-10-12T06:25:17.919-07:00We've seen lots of reds and yellows, and a few...We've seen lots of reds and yellows, and a few trees without any leaves, already. It's interesting to consider how temperate it is, since we are situated so far to the north. There is still quite a bit of greenery, though, similar to back home.<br /><br />Yes, we've seen plenty of those two track roads. Glad we learned the etiquette of how to conduct ourselves in those rare but awkward driving situations.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-25027925953679003362014-10-12T02:56:53.987-07:002014-10-12T02:56:53.987-07:00I keep thinking ruefully about how much I loved fi...I keep thinking ruefully about how much I loved finding lanes like this in the States. The experience has certainly been de-romanticized for me. Just a little more width in those roads would suit me just fine.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-51085675883099159052014-10-09T18:47:21.216-07:002014-10-09T18:47:21.216-07:00Thanks for the ride, Jacqi.

I guess it might have been easier driving on the left when there is a "path" for one car -- except when a car's coming from the other direction.

Thanks for the ride I enjoyed it very much!
