The Lone Pine

I have always felt myself a member of the Lone Pine Club.
I know it sounds obsolete and corny, but I can't avoid it.
It must be because of all those of my teenage years in which they made me so happy, when I read their adventures and decided that one day I would travel and see with my own eyes all those beautiful little towns they described so well. Somehow they also made me end up dedicating my professional life to the teaching of English. So I own them this particular homage!
