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.

The big pretty woman
So, we arrived at the Verona, Italy airport and left our rental car. The man at the desk did not speak English very well and our Italian is less. We asked him to call a phone number to have the shuttle to our hotel pick us up. They told him where we should be. He translated this as 'the big pretty woman". Okay. So, we thought that it must be a statue at the front of the airport. No. What could it be? Then, there she was --fifty feet tall -- big and beautiful. It is either a billboard or it covers a cell tower, but she helped us find our shuttle.
