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.

Three Faces of France



Photos by Mike McLellan

     The top photo is of the Paris icon. The second photo is of a small cluster of homes along the Seine. Finally, the bottom photo is the outside of a workshop in a small chateau in Normandy near Caen. I like all three, but in terms of personal experience I enjoyed meeting the owners of the chateau who grow apples to make cinder and brandy. They have a wonderfully friendly old dog. They have two children and a huge job ahead of them as they rebuild and restore their home.
     The top two photos are of marvelously pretty things. The bottom photo - pretty in its own right - draws back memories of ordinary people.
