WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Bars and Pubs discovered

Some tapas in Barcelona, Spain
     Taking a extended break in the middle of the afternoon is standard in many countries. Having tapas and wine in Spain is a great idea.
      Not that I have tried every bar and pub in every city I have stayed, I have found a favorite in almost every one. There is a pub across from the post office in Kings Cross that made London home. I found refuge from the rain in a great wine bar in Kilkenny, Ireland. In Paris there is a corner cafe near the Louvre that counters any complaint that the French are not welcoming. If you find yourself in Florence, I have a recommendation for you,
     What makes them good? There is a Pub in Dublin in Temple Bar that is an example. You are welcomed. It has the right balance between noise and quiet, they serve a good product, and when you come back they remember you. Best view: the bar at the Chateau at Lake Louise, Alberta Canada,
