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 Canadian Rockies


This last year we traveled to Calgary then on to Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper before making a circle to include Waterton and Glacier National Parks. In former times, with film cameras, one had to think long and hard about taking a photo. There were only 36 chances on a roll of film and you did not want to waste any. Since the advent of the digital camera I have taken nearly one thousand pictures in Ireland, another thousand in Italy and who-knows how many in the Canadian Rockies. In Canada there was a great photo opportunity around every corner. All of these photos are neatly stored on my hard-drive, back-up drive and the cloud. When I want to post photos from Scotland, England or any of the other dozens of places visited with film camera in hand, I have to scan them from the prints. My old Nikon with all of its lenses sits collecting dust today as we both have good point and shoot Canons with a photo program on my laptop. I now shoot first and ask questions later.
