Men Who Wander – November 2006

Mark K November 30th, 2006

The November meeting took place after I returned from my wanderings in Spain (see previous posts) so I decided to indulge my interest in the subject of wandering. Isabel Allende lives in our area and I had a chance to hear her speak a few days before the meeting. In one part of her book “Zorro”, the hero travels the Camino de Santiago in Spain, where I had just been a few weeks before. The film “Motorcycle Diaries” deals with the wanderings of a young Ernesto Gueverra and his friend, years before he became a Che Gueverra, the famous revolutionary. I couldn’t resist including one of my favorite films “The Terminal” even though Tom Hanks’ character is prevented from wandering by being stuck in an airport terminal.

I was particularly interested in exploring the idea of wandering or traveling without a plan or destination, whether that be traveling or simply the way a person lives his life.
