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.

Let's make a deal

In many countries it is considered part of the purchasing process to haggle - to negotiate a price. It is actually part of the fun in many European and South American Countries. While less common, say, in Ireland, I got in a bargaining session with a shop owner in Kilkenny, Ireland, over a Celtic ring. We both enjoyed it. I know he probably "won", but I also had fun.

My wife caught on in Italy, and it was fun to watch. Amazing, actually. Did not buy much as we never do, but every purchase felt like a victory.
