If I had the opportunity to travel to the past, just one trip would not be enough to satisfy my ambitions. There are so many D dates to witness, so many lost cities and so many cool people to meet, that I don’t even know where to start.
But having to begin, I would follow J. J. Benítez and arrive in Palestine around the year 30 A.D.. After all, who wouldn’t want to delight his own eyes with the miracle of the loaves and the fishes? The idea of trying to meet Jesus and have a couple of words with him works for me as a perfect starting point for this time journey.
Next, I would take a look at my homeland around the middle of the 2nd century. Since having watched the ending scene of 'Gladiator', with those shining wheat fields looking like a renaissance painting of Mt. Olympus, I’ve wanted to check out this place at that time.
Oh, I forgot to go visit Athens a little bit earlier, like around the 4th and 5th centuries B.C. I need to enroll myself into a certain academy and attend a few math lessons, just to make sure that my professor of Ancient History II was right about a couple of tiny details.
But enough about clearing suspicions. After all that dust I would probably feel like listening to some fine music. I would jump with my time travel machine right into the 17th century, maybe to some luxurious room in London to listen to some live Matisse first, then I would move to the 30s of the next century to listen to the groove of the Salzburg court and, being there, why not, maybe I should take a carriage trip crossing some of that lovely Europe, because, as we already know, it will never be that quaint anymore.
My time travel thirst doesn’t end there. I should meet Tesla and find out about the Tunguska event as well, to know the name I’d get into a Navajo tribe, meet some of those vedic writers and better not to mention the first seven decades of the 20th century… I would probably spend my whole life there. To be honest, I would keep jumping around back and forth for an eternity with my dear Nikon under my sleeve and my adrenaline bursting at the seams.
