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.

Normandy In The Rain

 The American Cemetery, Normandy, France
The Ferris Wheel, Honfleur, Normandy, France

Some places are better in the rain. It seemed to me that Normandy and especially the Normandy Beaches felt best in the rain. Disney World is best on a sunny day. 
     I bought a tweed sport coat for a trip to Ireland so I would be warm in the rain (and look more like my stereotype of an Irishman) and it was sunny every day. We got very sunburned as we were not prepared for it. Ireland seemed to me to need more rain to be Ireland. The locals did not agree. But, there is a reason Ireland is green. 
     I am think of this today (in "sunny" California) because it is raining and probably will for several more days. That is a good thing.
