  • I spent a summer in Bregenz, basically the western tip of Austria. A beautiful little town on the Bodensee (Lake Constance), with a waterfront opera house and a park that runs along the water to just chill with a döner in hand and look out on the lake. Also, there’s a skylift to ride up one of the nearby mountains and get an even better view. Definitely not one of the most exciting places, but if you ever want a chill day, you can’t do much better.






  • Very good analogy. Questioning Tom Bombadil’s role in Middle Earth is the reason Tolkien included him, in my mind at least. The reader sees him as mysterious, mystical, alien, and seemingly detached from the world around him. And we try to fit him into the rest of the world, but not everything fits into nice little boxes. Some aspects of life will always be unknowable. The same goes for history and myth, which Tom seems to be very related to.
