Pilgrim's Progress?
BERLIN (Reuters) - Police in Germany were shocked to find a man running down a major highway pulling a three-wheeled trailer -- but even 
more surprised to learn he was a Polish pilgrim on a 3,000 km (1,800 mile) trek.
Motorists near Coburg in Bavaria saw the man towing a load with a rod attached to his back and called police.
"Officers' initial astonishment quickly turned into admiration," a police statement said on Tuesday.
After questioning the man, police discovered he was a devout Roman Catholic Pole on his way home from a European pilgrimage that had taken him as far as Portugal.
Inside a converted roof luggage box, which also served as a bivouac, the 35-year-old was carrying all he needed for the journey, police said. After inspecting the vehicle, officers declared it roadworthy and sent him on his way.
