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.

Going where the brave dare not go...

     We are a couple and have been for over fifty years. Not old, by any means, we are wearing out a little. One of us has a balance problem and the other needs three joints replaced. Most everyone might choose not to travel like we do. This year, for example, we hiked outside of Sedona to cliff dwellings. It was not a easy trek. Indeed, there is some commenting (some might say complaining) but we did it.
      In Spain, we chose to take walks longer than others. We would cover around five miles a day. It makes you sleep soundly after the Advil kicks in.  
      Even locally we take walks or walk some 7 to 10 miles a day at work (or volunteering). We do not put ourselves or others at risk, but find that moving makes moving possible.
      Thinking about this today as we are snowed in and yet feel the need to get out and go somewhere.
