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.

The Grotto, Portland, Oregon

The Grotto is well worth a visit when you are in the Portland Area. It is just off Sandy Blvd. at 185th in the North-East area of the city. There are two levels joined by an elevator that rises some 100+ feet. Above the actual grotto is a garden with various places for meditation.  On the lower level is a large chapel and a gift shop. The Grotto comes alive in lights during the Christmas Season and over 70,000 people come to visit and see the decorations and hear the many great choirs in concert.
