During buying trips, I often take Sunday to feel France..its people, places, food...its beauty!
On my recent Sunday in Arles in Southern France, I wandered without a goal....
My walk led me into "Theatre Antique"...the Roman Theater begun by Augustus in 1st century.
Never expecting to see among the ruins...
a trio of teenage boys, one using the ancient columns and walls to practice "Parkour" moves.
Parkour was developed in France around 1988.. credit is given to David Belle is Lisses, France.
The body moves around obstacles with speed and efficiency...
vaulting, rolling, running, climbing and jumping!
I talked to the young man, exchanged emails...
in a few days he sent me a YouTube with a friend performing Parkour...
In Parkour, you never stop moving...
As in life, if you reach an obstacle,
you must always continue forward!
What a lesson to learn....from visiting the ruins in Arles...
An unexpected discovery!
