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.

French drivers

Photo by Mike McLellan  (The only time there was no traffic.)
This is a street in France. Drivers in that nation are very good, but they assume that right and wrong are not negotiable. When the sign shows a green man you can walk. When the sign shows a red man you are not supposed to walk. I confess that, as a Californian, if it looks clear you just do what you want. A bus driver  was stopped for passengers and as soon as he had accomplished his task he drove away. Fortunately I am both quick and lucky. Close call. I had assumed that he would see me walking against the light and stop for me. He had the green and was taking it. He was right and I was wrong. One blessing is that I was not dead wrong.
