France in my Pants

Four days ici, five days la bas. Pretty soon it adds up to a whole country. WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY PETER MOORE

VINCENT VAN GOGH GOT AROUND. According to a sign I saw on a wall somewhere in France (I might need to check that),

the painter lived in thirty-nine places during his thirty-eight years, and that was before the Eurail Pass was invented.

I too have suffered from restless legs: The kind that keep me up nights, and the kind that keep me looking at various horizons and wondering—what’s over there?

A recent outbreak of my restlessness found me in Reykjavik Airport at 5 a.m., in an October rainstorm, and dazzled by what I saw.
