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.

Edinburgh Castle

This is a working castle, still home to soldiers (like the Tower of London), and a living museum. The one o'clock cannon is fired to give the community and the boats in the harbor the time of day - set your watch. The story is that they considered a twelve o'clock cannon, but being thrifty they settled on the one o'clock as it saved eleven shells a day.
