The first great joy of traveling is simply the luxury of leaving all our beliefs and certainties at home, and seeing everything we thought we knew in a different light, and from a crooked angle. We travel, then, in search of both self and anonymity -- and, of course, in finding the one we apprehend the other. That is why the best trips,travels , backpacking etc. like the best love affairs, never really end.

Welcome to COWSHIT LANE

September 20, 2007

I’m writing this blog from a lovely little block called Cowshit Lane at Golant, a small village in Cornwall, of southwest England, There is no public transport that serves the village but it is still a working village , some holiday or weekend homes, but certainly not a ghost town for eight months of the year.
The name stirred controversy when the village of Golant in southwest England decided to have a map drawn up for visitors.Some people felt that Cowshit Lane would leave a dark stain on their village's sunny image. They suggested renaming the road Cowslip Lane, but in the end, Golant's residents decided to stick with the original.
That's the spirit!

What’s in a name?

I have no clue what is in a name, especially that name, but it sure look peaceful!
