Welcome World Walkers
http://worldwalk-peacetour.info/
I had the opportunity to visit with a couple
of brothers from Hungary who are walking
around for world peace.
One of the things they found most odd was
when they were in Jackson County
(they said in North Florida) they were unable
to buy beer on Sunday. The concept was
amusing and befuddling to them. Blue laws.
The strangest experience they relayed was
walking down a very narrow strip of road
in Mauritania where minefields were present
on either side of the road. There are signs
with skulls on them to warn people not to
stray off the roadway.
Made bathroom decisions interesting.
Since either side of the road was full of
mines, they had to sleep literally within
inches of the road as cars continued to
use the narrow pathway. Their most
interesting food was camel. They said it
tastes a lot like regular beef.
They also relayed that Hungarian,
while an interesting language with
46 characters, is utterly useless.
No one in Europe speaks Hungarian and
even the Hungarians use English as their
language of choice.
