We Suspect Foul Play
We used to meet him on our strolls around the local lake. He was almost friendly and courteous, always rather reserved and not at all presumptuous. And then the other day - : Was it merely a wrong step, a small misadventure, or was he pushed? Weekly … Continue reading We Suspect Foul Play

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.
