Not an odd story at all - the reasons and methods of pilgrimage are vast. Much appreciation to him for standing up (literally ) for this profession. As a cultural worker, his story certainly resonates with me. Our industry is making its way back slowly - the impact will be felt for years. Good on him!! Thank you for sharing this story.

Not that unusual, here's a crowd of good old boys out for a night on the town in Les Landes region of France



And it gives a whole new meaning to the word "postman"



The staff he's carrying is meant to allow him to rest without getting down - turns him into a tripod (honestly).

Stumbled upon them while on holiday about 25 years ago at a small town fete in the Landes region. We thought it was a circus act at first.
My daughters, then 7 and 9, tried out the "starter" ones that raised them about 50cm off the ground but as they've both ended up just shy of 184cm stilts weren't really needed!
 
I met Gulio on June 17th in Fonfria. At first I just couldn't believe my eyes... I guess at 2nd and 3rd, I STILL couldn't believe it.
He asked me to take his photo with his phone and of course I was clicking mine any chance I got..
Giulio told me he started in Leon and acknowledged that he did worked in the circus.
Here is a link to my FindPenguins post relating to the subject:

Fonfria

Utterly pointless, IMHO.

Having said that; much of what I fill my day with is equally pointless in the grand scheme of things.
