Sometimes I think that just posting a picture will communicate the total feeling of a place and time, but I know that is not true. The above photo was taken on the veranda of a bed and breakfast between Lecco and Bellagio on Lake Como, Italy. It is a simple candid shot of me. The true story behind it is how amazed I was to be there and see the lake. We were getting ready to go out to dinner. As an American it was just about time to eat - maybe 6:30 pm - which is about an hour and a half before the Italians go to dinner. The picture for me reflects a different place, a foreign land, different habits, strange but interesting culture. And, I know it says very little to anyone else.
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.
