That's a fine song about water and such fun with the underwater drums and 3 children walking on the beach in an innertube !!!

So many of the images are wonderful.

It is a fun song. And the Marvin Gaye is a beautiful song. I had forgotten how beautiful it is.

"A barreling spot of red "- what an inspired metaphor ! For a few seconds the reader is brought up short by this enigma ... and the imagination runs wild ..!

Thank you, BF.

I love this journey! But I may have missed one thing - so there were stone dwellings close to the "summit" and these were for prisoners or am I way off?

Rebecca Kalin's avatar

No, the buildings were likely for housing or maybe storage, and were not at the Gate, starting halfway down hill.

I have never heard anything about prisoners at MP. The ones rumored to be brought in as guards would have come from afar.
