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.
WELCOME
This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet.

Home on the Seine
It was a hard sell to get me on a long riverboat down the Seine. I like to drive, even in foreign counties, because I think I see more. Driving certainly lets you keep your own schedule. But, I really did like the river cruise. It was just a fourth of our trip last July: Paris, the Seine, Normandy. Yet, as I was not driving, I had a glass of wine -well, one didn't last the whole five days- went up to the sundeck and actually saw things rather than the road. The photo above would not have been seen from the road in any case. What a pretty house! I still have no desire for a big ship, but a river cruise now and then seems nice.
