Conversation with a Beefeater – Everywhere I go I like to
stop and find out about the stories of people. At the Tower of London, I
stopped to visit one of the Beefeaters who act and guides and guards at the
tower. All of them are military or retired military and most live with their
families in the Tower. This particular one was sharing his story and how
special it is to do his job. There is great pride in being a symbol of a
nation.
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.

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.
