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.

When Egypt looks for it treasures...
Certainly Egypt still has many treasures, but much of the world has plundered things. If you want to see many of their wonders you need to go to England (especially the British Museum) or Paris or even Rome. The photo above is one I took of Cleopatra' s Needle from a small boat on the Thames in London. I'll guess that it was not a gift from the Egyptians, but I'll do some research.
