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 Bull

Just outside the bullring in Ronda Spain - Photo by Mike McLellan
     Lots of testosterone in Spain. Everywhere you go you see bulls prominently depicted or displayed. Th picture above is of a bronze outside of the bullring in Ronda. Almost every town and city has a bullring near its center. While the rings are used for other things beside bull flights, the matador is their answer to the USA's NFL quarterback.
     There are huge metal bulls along the roadways and the bull is a symbol for many other things. It is part of the heritage. 
     There are cows in Spain, but they seem to get second billing.
