Learning new words

I learned a new word.  It is great to learn about a new thing.   Didn't expected it would be related to the Silk Roads again.  Recently, I discovered there was also a Maritime Silk Road.  What I learned about the Silk Roads?  It is the word "Caravansary".  Here is the place where I learned about that word:

So, a caravansary is the place where people on the Silk Roads stays for the night.  It is a fancy name for the inns on the Silk Roads.  It seems also to be a place with some luxuries.  It seems to be big places, even with a market, water, supplies, things for the camels...  Those places look like a specialized inns.  Maybe modern inns could channel the caravansary for new ideas.

I don't know if I should take that as a sign.  I have been thinking a lot about the Silk Road lately.  It is the second thing that I learned about the Silk Roads.  Of course, I somewhat feel wiser because of that.  I am also happy to learn something new, something on a area I though I knew kind of well.  I don't consider myself an expert on the Silk Roads but I think I may know more than the average person.

As I learned about the caravansary, my mind started to work.  Would be nice to write a story about a special road like the Silk Roads.  I don't want to do something like an historical/romantized story on the Silk Roads.  As I said just above, I am not an expert.  I would like to create something with the Silk Roads as an inspiration.  I think it is a nice jumpboard with what I recencly learned.
