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.

Don Quixote de La Mancha

      I am currently reading Cervantes' Don Quixote. Don Quixote wants to be a knight and wear armor like that above. In his travels with Sancho Panza (the smarter of the two) his adventures allow him to meet a variety of characters. This is one of the very first novels and is, in many ways, satire about the state of Spain. However, as I read it, it is very much to the point of our present day situation. I hope that Mr. Pence can play Panza well.
