What an extraordinary trip, and that van going over onto its side! Looking back on it, you probably realize just how risky that trip was. It was another time and another era, amazing.
Yes, everything was totally different. I'm more cautious now that I'm old, and I don't really like it. There was a German saying, "A flowerpot can fall on your head any time", and I always liked it as a philosophy: no matter how much you plan ahead, no matter how cautious you are, something unexpected can always happen. So, I didn't worry all that much 😉.

I feel the same way now. No more risky things, at least physically speaking.
