An Unorthodox Grand Tour

DSC_4107DSC_4108DSC_4113DSC_4110DSC_4114Of late, I have been thinking a bit about where I have been and about the road ahead. This has led me to archive sketchbooks I kept in 2006 during a 5 month trip around Europe. On a shoestring budget, I traveled with a partner by train, bus and boat. We started in Paris, and in something of a loop worked our way around the western block, up Eastern Europe and then back to Paris through the north.

The pages I filled do not always follow any chronology. The trip was something of a whirlwind and I guess my recordings are as well.
