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.

The Rhine River

 
 
 
The bank of "a river" between Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

That is the Rhine River just over the guardrail and the line of trees in the right side of this photo.
 
      We just watched "Jeopardy!" and one of their questions was "What river divides Switzerland from Liechtenstein?" Be darned if I knew. Then they said it was the "Rhine" or in German the "Rhein". What? We followed this crummy little river from Liechtenstein along the passes in Switzerland until we turned off to go to Lake Como and Bellagio. So, that was the Rhine? Sure have heard a good deal about it, but in the rain and near where it starts it isn't much. We didn't know that we had crossed it several times. It is a famous river. Wish I would have looked harder.
