The Blind Traveler
- KGIII 9y agoLovely. I've had the chance to do a great deal of traveling. Often times, it has been with no real goal or destination. I don't actually do much in the way of touristy things. What is impressive is both that he survived and that he was blind. I am sighted, so I can not really relate. The closest I can come to is that I've danced on six continents. I am not actually good at dancing. So, I think I'll have to try to get copies of the me toned books. To have done that, in that era, is just an amazing feat.

- thriftwy 9y agoCan't imagine how it would take seven weeks to get from SPb to Moscow. The distance is 700 km, that's ~15 km per day. You will probably do it in five weeks if you walk.
