I Told My Dreams I'll Hook Up with You Later

Thoreau once said "if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

History has always a part of my dreams.  At one time the history of Europe beckoned to me.  Images of distant battles, old castles, and the comfort of todays world have left their mark.

But as one grows in maturity, realization comes at a price.  That price in my case was my dream.  But as Thoreau implied your dreams can come true in unexpected sources.

Looking around Mexico, I can say "Hey look HISTORY... over there... and oh over here too!"

And even some pratically in my own backyard.

So yes, I had dreams.  And I have now come to the realization that they don't always fade away as I wake up, but as good dreams do, they stay in the background, and intermingle with reality.
