I'm the same age now as PLF was when he embarked on his walk across Europe. And obviously we're 19 in completely different times but it strikes me just how politically unaware he seems - very historically aware, and very smart, but just so ignorant of what was happening around him. I have some ~theories~ on why, but at this point I'm just very struck by how jarring this ignorance seems.
