Today is All Saints' Day. Since we're in Germany and now practicing Anglicans (it's the only English-speaking church we could find), we decided to celebrate this Christian solemnity by offering Penelope to God.
But try as we may, God gave her back.
"One day it occurred to me that it had been many years since the world had been afforded the spectacle of a man adventurous enough to undertake a journey through Germany on foot. After much thought, I decided that I was a person fitted to furnish to mankind this spectacle. So I determined to do it. This was in March, 1878." Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad
...Just like Missy.
