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.

Rent a funny little car and see the sites/sights
We have rented any number of cars for the sole purpose of avoiding the beaten path. We like to get off on to back roads and find the surprises. It is not always easy to drive in a strange place or to drive on the "wrong" side of the road, but it is a means to an end. That goal to find places where real people live their lives day-to-day. The car pictured here ( Nissan Versa) was parked in Athy, Ireland near the White Castle. It is on a one way street so parking on the right side was fine. We put over 1600 miles on it and only a few were driven on a road much wider than it is. Surprised that those rear view mirrors are still there.
