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.

What to bring back

Souvenirs are part of traveling as they are tangible reminders of your adventure. So what do you bring home? A Cartier Watch from Paris? A rubbing of a tombstone in Portugal?

Here are some things I brought home: Ireland - paper coasters advertising beer; flowers pressed into a guidebook of Scotland; a wine glass from Murano; A quaich from the Outer Hebrides; a Celtic ring from Kilkenny; a silver ring from Florence; antique bottle openers from thrift stores everywhere; salt-finished ceramics from the Amish... and receipts and free papers. I will guess that the total expense over the last decade is under a hundred dollars.
