I Roam – Call Me a Wanderer

I am cheating a bit here. In the strict sense this man does not represent a traveller but a pilgrim – as can be seen by the shell he wears around his neck which shows that he is on the Way of St James (Camino de Santiago). Although the more famous part of this pilgrimage leading to Santiago de Compostela is the last part in Northern Spain, there are many roads crisscrossing Europe leading to this part.

But although a pilgrim has no choice in the destination of his route he is for all other intents and purposes a traveller although not a tourist. His journey is his reward and he carries all his needs on his back. This particular wanderer stands in Laudenbach, between the Odenwald and Rhine Valley, from where he would turn towards the South East towards his final destination.

And off he goes, down the road.

    1. It’s the beginning of one stretch, from Laudenbach (at the border between the State of Hesse and Baden-Württemberg) to Breisach (near Freiburg) from where this route crosses over the Rhine to France. I never knew there were so many sub-section of the Camino.
