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.

Favorite pictures: On the mountain above La Villa, Italy
The Dolomites (The Italian Alps) were high on my "bucket list" and we spent nearly a week there. On one of our first days we took a tram to the top of one of the mountains above the town of La Villa where we were staying. There was hardly anyone else around. At that altitude you can get "dry" fast so I bought a bottle of water. I set it on a post for this picture. Notice the snow on the mountain behind it. It was September and still summer. To the right rear is a warming hut for the wintertime and is the beginning of a hiking trail and cross-country ski trail.
