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.

Venice to stop huge ships from the waterways
What is wrong with the center picture? Well not only do these huge ships damage the buildings with their wake (sometimes there are four or five a day) but they hold thousands of passengers who all pile out and overrun the city for the middle of the day. The best time to walk in Venice is during the evening - it is wonderful. But, at 11 am you can hardly make it over any of the bridges that cross the Grand Canal with all the people with cameras. Going to Venice? Stay in the city and come and go by train or by water taxi .
