I am decidedly anti-collector, but not when it comes to other people’s collections.

I look forward to more long empty streets in small towns, whenever that happens.

I didn’t want to see anyone hang from a telephone pole, but I am the daughter of a history professor, and I also know that revolutions don’t come cheap.

When I moved to Spain after a long walk across a hot country, no one, least of all myself, named what I was doing as putting on my own oxygen mask first.

The perfect breath is 5.5 breaths per minute, 5.5 litres of air, 5.5-second inhales and 5.5-second exhales.

Though the well is capped, we can still sip the waters of freedom. Small journeys on foot, starting and ending at home, remain legal and plausible.

Spanish Camino routes are closed to tourists until at least fall this year , but there’s no reason to stop visualizing our next pilgrimage.
