Leader of the Packs

September 2, 2025

I’m a backpack guy. Don’t even ask me about rolly bags—they’re like dragging a ball and chain; slow, loud and useless in gravel and snow. They don’t fit under your seat. Half the time you end up having to check them anyway. I hope that when I die at the ripe old age of 107, they find me carrying a great carry-on backpack filled with tightly rolled socks and underwear. A great, comfortable backpack allows you to zip through...

Wandering Apostles in Pécs, Hungary

September 1, 2025

Once intended to stand at the top of the grandest cathedral in Pécs, the decaying statues of the 12 apostles now take shelter from the rain under an archway. Completed in 1855 after nine years of work, the statues were carved from Budafa yellow sandstone by Mihály Bartalits. Each stood at a towering four meters tall and was meant for the cathedral’s façade. But the sandstone was of poor quality. Rain would seep into the stone and become trapped...
