1.1 “你要爱你的寂寞”
我总是个行走在路上的女子,也是个普通的生活人,努力地追寻着美丽的风景 - Live My Life,亦是我的执着。
加拿大的秋天是阳光明媚,和绚丽多彩的。抬眼望去的天空蓝得是那样的纯净清澈而又通透。就这样静静地看着窗外的明媚,思绪却飘回到那炙烈太阳无尽的普照,那空气中飞舞的尘埃,那个曾经是梦境的遥远国度...... 离开仿佛就在昨日。虽然已经回来近半年了,却走不出那段充满惊奇和欢笑的回忆。
于是在这样秋日的一个悠闲午后,我开始补写一段埃及行记,趁着记忆尚未泛黄褪色之前,让冗长文字跟随每一张照片,去追寻那段关于历史关于传奇关于异域的记忆零碎片段。
对于大多数人,包括我在内,埃及都曾经是一个梦,一个有着金字塔斯芬克斯的传奇,一个渺无人迹的大漠戈壁,一个有着悠久文明的神秘国度...... 坦白地说,入埃及本并不在我今年出游目的地的计划之中,只不过在Patagonia之行时与Sharon的讨论中提及埃及。结果刚从阿根挺回来没几天,与Sharon的再次碰面后决定了四月的目的地 - 埃及。于是在接下来的几个月里,除了埋头做旅游计划,拜着指头数日子外,便是想象着:透过历史的尘埃,古埃及到底是怎样的?

那首《边走边唱》也许就是为你写的。 我喜欢读你的游记。
