everywhere-not fguratively, but liter

/ have been on the go for over a month,
never left the rails of the road / started
out on, and had most delightful time !"
And what" / asked, "is the name of
this wonderful railroad upon which one
may travel for month. and which, with
its own rails, reaches mountains, lakes
