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.
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.

San Francisco, USA
San Francisco can be a little arrogant about itself. Why not? It is truly a great city. It also has a sense of humor.
Back when riding the cable cars cost a dime each way, we took brother-in-law and sister-in-law to "The City" for Japanese food and a tour.
Having just missed the Powell Street car we ran up hill to catch it at the next intersection.
More used to those hills, my wife and I beat the other two and jumped on. The car driver waited for our relatives and then charged them for the ride. As for us, our reward for winning was to ride free.
You will not likely have that happen, but San Francisco is a place of good people, great views, and mystical experiences.
