I I do know female welders, but only one who is creative with it... a sculptor. For the others, it's their job. My gal sews for a living. She does sew her own creations at home.... amazing quilts... I stand back.... I'd never do that... so complex... mond boggling. I'd love to teach her how to weld... I'd unleash a monster I'm sure.

It was a tour along the main roads between towns. Outwards pretty much along existing railway lines and rivers. Back was a bit more adventurous route. Only towns had pharmacies. And smaller villages, not even a shoemaker (there were traveling shoemakers offering their services there from time to time). Milestones with directions and other signs did also exist. Just no classical standardized road signs. Other travelers using horse carriages or walking had the same needs. But for sure this was an adventure at this time.

Aviation still hasn't cracked electric propulsion. Neither has space travel. Without the internal combustion engine and fossil fuels it's unlikely we would have had the first flight 14 years after Bertha made her journey. Without that we may never have had the moon landing or satellites, GPS or Internet like we have today. Fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine were the best technology of their day.
