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.

Paris looks flat - at first glance


Looking toward Montmartre from Musee d'Orsay

Looking to the south from Montmartre

Paris seems to be flat at first glance. Maybe it is if you have been to Rome (and certainly San Francisco). But, Paris has low rolling hills. This is more obvious from a vantage point like the top of the Musee d'Orsay or when walking from Notre Dame to Luxembourg Gardens. By personal car or by taxi, one does not experience the hills as you do walking. Still, it is a city of walking just about everywhere. We took the tram up Montmartre, but our grand-daughter climbed the stairs. Ah, youth.
