Book excerpt: mo.ped /moh-ped/ noun 1. A low-power, lightweight motorized bicycle that can be pedalled. Two brothers moped their way into adventures through Europe in the mid-1950's on $5 a day. They meet the natives, fight the elements, the topography and swear at their machines while getting to their?destination. Along the way, they encounter friends and foes; they learn about the high price for running over a farmer's laying hen in Belgium; go where no tourist is supposed to go in Italy; walk in the night mist with Irish tinkers; challenge Franco's Spanish Guardia Civil; converse in a language unknown to man, while under the influence with Portuguese University students; are entertained by recollections of America by a retired Free French aviator; cross the Austrian Alps in a howling snowstorm with red-hot engines, as they daily move into new territory. Dick and Bill Lynam's peripatetic journey across Western Europe is filled with observations, anecdotal comments, reflections on the people, and summaries of current and recent history and political events in the countries they visited.
Download or read book The Footloose Pilgrims written by George Marshall and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The abrupt ending of an intense love-affair has left Morris haunted by memories of the dark beauty of his lost love. He believes that escape from this torment will only be found in the arms of a fair-haired woman. On a walking holiday along the Santiago de Compostela pilgrim route, he sets his sights on the blond Diana, convinced she will free him from the spell of his past love. He, and holiday friend Jerry, waggishly assign names of The Canterbury Tales pilgrims to their fellow walkers. Constance, holidaying alone, is doing a similar thing. Diana, and her friend Helen, learn of their secretive labelling, and the five agree to tell their own personal tales. Hidden aspects of the narrators' lives, beyond anything expected from comparative strangers, are exposed in these intriguing stories. Morris persists in his pursuit of the tantalising Diana, a golden goddess in whose bed he believes lies exorcism of the spectre of his former love. Who is sleeping with who? And what new pairings are being made? These are the questions in the air as the contemporary evocations of Chaucer's pilgrims; the Wife of Bath, Miller, Monk, Manciple, Prioress, Physician, Knight and Man of Law, intertwine along the holy pathway.
Download or read book Footloose written by Kosti Simons and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not many people would contemplate a 1500 km barefoot stroll along the highways and byways of France and Spain, but that is what the author did. Why? After a conversion to Christianity at age 50 he felt the Lord was calling him to do it. And he describes the experience along the centuries-old pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela as the foremost experience of his life. It took 111 footloose days. On the way he tape-recorded his journey for his wife in Australia, and he has used the 12 tapes so made as the basis of this account. Pilgrims in the days of his walk were rare creatures, and he felt the need with others to revive the spirit of pilgrimage. He founded the not-for-profit Pilgrims International, and led groups a biblical 40 days from the French Pyrenees to Santiago. Just one year before Covid-19 flattened the world, over 300,000 pilgrims arrived in Santiago. What may lift this book from the pedestrian, so to speak, into the heavenlies, are the dialogues Kosti has with Our Lord Jesus Christ.
