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.

The Land Only Don Quixote Could Love


View to the East from the Castle
La Mancha is where Don Quixote hails from and if you have ever wanted to visit it, the whole thing is very simple.  Going South on the main expressway (E5) toward Granada (go via Toledo) from Madrid you will see a substantial hill with a castle and windmills. You take the road off toward the hill and you will go through a prim little village and then up the hill. You will get the very best sight of both the windmills and La Mancha. The town looked deserted to us in most areas in midday and there was no English spoken at the cafe, but pull out a little High School Mexican and you can get a decent meal. The turn around visit off of the highway, without lunch, is about an hour and well worth it.
