00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:49,079
by the comforting smell of burning wood.

00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: Cruden, on the other hand, had a freer spirit, dreaming

81
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,800
of unexpected encounters and surprises the road might offer.

00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,879
a new understanding.

137
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: Etienne had learned that the most beautiful memories aren't etched

138
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,200
in notebooks but lived.

a sky full of stars, witnesses to their beautiful day.

150
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
