#5 Travel diary: The shouting black man
Their feet are swift, their bodies light, save for the old stiff-jointed grannies wheeling walkers. They walk like ants in many lines except they are not together.

#7 Travel diary: Garmich partnachklamm and hiking
Remember the place where Barack Obama sat with Angela Merkel for a gorgeous picture overlooking the best scenery on the planet ? Yes. So, I was in this place today. Obama and all those G7 leaders have nothing on me. The difference between me and Barack Obama is I wasn’t driven to a secluded hotel…
