Cold in Zurich!!

I had to make a direct first stop... At a cemetery!

After he haunted me since even before moving to Dublin, I was many times on his footsteps, not only during Bloomsday.

He spent more time in Paris than in Dublin (!) and some of the places where he lived, wrote and drank are just around the corner from where I live now (literally).

Only to die in a Zurich hospital nearly exactly 82 years ago today.
