I loved the walk

when you don’t have a rid from my house, then you have to walk for about 400 to 500 meters in order to reach the main road. I used to hate walking this distance and just stay at home or call a friend to pick me up. Today i woke up late and missed my only rid out of my house. I had breakfast with my mom and my sister and my nephew and stayed at home for a few hours thinking of not going anywhere just to avoid that walk. With no plans on my mind i still got ready for some strange reason. My cousin called me and asked me whether i wanted a rid or not and i told him that i don’t. I decided to walk to the main road today. If you want to get a bus then you probably have to walk about 600 meters and to get a taxi then you have to walk for more than a kilometer. I decided to get a taxi. My house is about half a kilometer away from the main road and this distance is a dirt road. The first two hundred meters has a bad chemical odor, but not an unbearable one, because of the constraction of new houses and shops. The remaining 400 meters smell of different plants at different points-I usually didn’t like this smell either. Today these 600 meters were different in a good way. I saw sights and felt amazing freshness which just blew me away. Last night’s rain washed all the trees, plants, and roads and you could see the natural greenness of trees and the reddish brownness of the dirt road. Half wet dirt walls that run along the dirt road added to the beauty of this morning. This one section of the road smelled like you are walking on a river bank because this section of a wall was build from river sand and smelled like you are at a beach but with no waves. The air was cold but the sun was warm and this combination gave a feeling that i cannot describe. I just kept walking and walking. I was lost somewhere in mind when a boy interrupted and said hi to me. I didn’t get it the first time so he said hi again. It took me a while to respond by i guess it was not that late. It was very sweet of him because he also made me realize that i was about 20 meters away from the main road.
