But not just any bike! No, a purple\nbicycle\u2026 And yes! It has a basket on the handlebars all decorated\nwith flowers in purple and orange tones, and also at the back in a\nbag. It\u2019s love at first sight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I\nstart dreaming\u2026 Once upon a time, a princess straight from the far\nnorth and all dressed in pink, who had decided to go around the world\non two wheels. What a funny idea. And yet, that&#8217;s what she did.\nAboard her purple bike, she leaves her hometown one fine morning in\nfront of all her very worried family and all her neighbors too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nfirst day is difficult. The rain, the hills, the descents, the\nravines, the cars, the heat, the cold welcome from the local\npopulations&#8230; This rather hostile atmosphere lasts several days,\nweeks. But the princess does not let this discourage her. She insists\nwithout ever losing her joy and good mood. Until one day, probably\nunlike any other, while she was driving in the scorching heat, she\nwas greeted by young children who cheered and followed her closely.\nSo much so that she is forced to brake and stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then\nadults out of nowhere approach the merry band, some with drinks,\nothers with food. Our princess does not believe her eyes. She is\nmoved. She blends in with the crowd and enjoys every minute. But,\nsoon, it&#8217;s time to go again\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since that day, it&#8217;s as if something has changed, perhaps herself. Still, each of her encounters has been incredible, unique, sublime. Her journey lasted several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\ngave herself the time to live, to breathe, to love. She fully lived\nher dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And\nI had mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I wander the streets of Amsterdam, my camera hanging from my neck, my head thrown back to enjoy the tall houses, I nearly stumble into something\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My purple dream&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOLD Oil on cardboard \u2013 8 x 8 inch \u2013 Unique work As I wander the streets of Amsterdam, my camera hanging from my neck, my head thrown back to enjoy the tall houses, I nearly stumble into something\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1409"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1409"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1409\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2016,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1409\/revisions\/2016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
