Travelogue -
2 - The cove.
Proceeding six kilometers beyond the bridge I spotted a monolithic mysterious woman carved into the rock. Behind her at the top are traces of vegetation while at the bottom are ruins of another huge worked stone. I can make out a human body with an animal skull. I do not know the meaning and relationship of this woman luxuriant with life and the decadent figure that remains beside her. It may be her late husband. Just as in real life, I will have to move on to understand what is presented to me today. As I approach the woman's feet again, a narrow cove carved into an arch opens up. I proceed inside it before night falls.
