   Well, it wasn't really traveling. He went to a university. Next to the   
   university there's a village. That's it. That map was just frillery. But I   
   feel like I have to mention all the extras, like maps and lists of words and   
   places and such, so I did :-)  I like having maps too but sometimes they   
   make things worse, only confusing things. This one didn't. It just was   
   superfluous.   
      
   Hm, it suddenly occurs to me that in subsequent installments it gets more   
   useful. I'll make a note of that :-)
