THE WRAPAROUND: SHELL

"Taking a piece of paper, Klinowitz showed Todd the secret of buying real estate for a large corporation like a gasoline company: ‘You find a good spot, on the corner of two busy roads. The owner has two acres, won’t break it up into smaller lots. The company, say Mobil or Humble in the old days, they can use a quarter of an acre, only. That leaves you with an acre and three-quarters wrapping around the corner in a kind of capital L. Your job as buyer is to buy the entire piece, but not before you’ve found someone like me who’ll take the wraparound off your hands. Do you see the economics?’"~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS.

Camino de Santiago pilgrimage: the scallop shell will guide you to arrive in Santiago. Historically, the shell had also metaphorical and practical meanings for the pilgrims. As the waves of the ocean wash scallop shells up on the shores of Galicia, God´s hand also guides the pilgrims to Santiago. The pilgrims used to use the shells as an instrument to gather water from wells and rivers.
