Mystery in Limoux
Mark K October 27th, 2008
I went for a walk on my first morning in Limoux, looking for the train station and a good cup of coffee. I came upon this wall, covered with peeling posters and wondered what it was all about.
It looked political, judging by all the French flags, and I recognized the date 1960 and the name of the town – Limoux. I saw something about Gaul or Gaulist and a drawing I couldn’t quite recognize. I had the feeling that it was expressing a nationalist – France should only be for the French – sentiment, but I can’t really tell you why.
Later, I looked I did some research on the Internet and asked my friend who lives here part of the year if she knew what it was about.
Then it occurred that unsolved mysteries are one of my favorite things about traveling. There are people who insist of explaining everything to you, as if their interpretation is the only one possible, analyzing everything with a rational mind, as if feelings, intuitions, fancy and metaphor have nothing to do with the traveling experience.
I was tempted to try to find the answer, but I think I’ll just notice something that caught my eye and speculate about what it might mean to me.
