"To journey without being changed is to be a nomad.

To change without journeying is to be a chameleon.

To journey and to be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim." -Mark Nepo

The Orange Vespa


It is not common to see Vespas in Strasbourg.  People here tend to pedal their bikes rather than ride motorized ones.  This orange Vespa caught my eye when I was passing by a post office.  I snapped a picture, thinking it was quintessentially European.

I never thought that I would see it again.  But about an hour later, it buzzed past me.  The driver had a cigarette clamped between his lips as he was driving.  A halo of smoke surrounded his head.  I quickly grabbed my camera and snapped another photo, pleased with seeing the Vespa in action.
