I must say I am envious. This family of Soultravelers has set out indefinitely to travel the world and what's more, to document their travels. I love the quotation of St. Augustine's on their site:
“The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page.”
Do you think they packed any books?
Maybe Adam of the Road by Elizabeth Janet Gray. It is the account of an eleven year old traveling minstrel boy who travels the road of Medieval England, visiting town and encountering a variety of different people.
There have always been people for whom the road —any road —is not simply a cleared strip of terrain that makes travel easier. For them it is a central part of their way of life. Adam’s father, Roger, a minstrel in thirteenth-century England, talks to him about the road: "It brings all kinds of people and all parts of England together. And it’s home to a minstrel, even though he may happen to be sleeping in a castle."
