I love how I come back to the place I grew up in after years of living in North America, and suddenly everything seems so much older, so much smaller, and so much more interesting. What a beautiful country! So much history! You actually really start to appreciate it once you have been gone for five years. Some of these houses are from the 14th century! That’s pretty crazy old!

I walked on roads that were built when there were only horses and carriages. I touched stone walls that were made before the invention of modern cement. I passed through century old passages, saw medieval castles and squeezed my car through roads only inches wider than a normal car.

It was kinda magical!
