If we complete the rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$ with respect to the standard absolute value, we obtain the reals $\mathbb{R}$, wich is a connected topological space. The completion $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ with respect to the $p$-adic valuation for a prime $p$, however, is totally disconnected. So it seems that the concept of a path connecting two points in the $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$ (or $\mathbb{Q}_p^n$) does not make sense. In fact, the space $\mathbb{Q}_p$ itself is not quite suitable for doing geometry. Instead one can consider the affine line $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}_p}^1$ as an adic space. It contains $\mathbb{Q}_p$ as so called \emph{classical points} but has many more points. In this talk we will convince ourselves that $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}_p}^1$ is indeed path connected if we use the right notion of a path.
