Memories, you just can't trust them

06.06.04 (8:30 am) [edit]

I needed a fix of town life, so yesterday we went back to Estepona. I’d forgotten the toll road would be summer prices now, €5.50 for the round trip…what a rip-off! On the way I was wondering how Juan would be. He has the café on the ground floor of the block we used to live in and I used to go in there at least once a day. We sat outside Juan’s with our coffee (the big reunion I half expected didn’t happen), and watched the world go by as we chatted about how weird it was to be back. In my mind’s eye “El Paseillo” was so beautiful. In reality it looked tired and uncared for. As for Juan, he never was very communicative now that I think about it. It’s funny how we remember things.

I’m really glad we went back, and I’m really glad it felt so good to come home.

It is funny how differently we can remember things. I guess we embellish stories in our own memories ;)

I struggle with the old saying "You can't go home again" - I think it's helpful at times to go back and revisit places with more experienced eyes. It's a good thing to think on - thank you for your post :)

I always enjoy comparing notes with my sister about events from our childhood. Amazing how two people experiencing the same set of events come away with totally different memories.
