I do not get paid for plugging The Rock Hotel in Gibraltar (although I will take it, if offered) but it is a great place with updated rooms and a very large lobby. From the rooms you can see three countries: Gibraltar, Spain and Morocco. You can also see the bay, the Straits of Gibraltar, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. My photo above is of a rainbow over the bay looking toward Spain. The harbor is busy. The ship in the center is a British Naval ship as Gibraltar is part of The United Kingdom. We stayed three days and could have stayed far longer. We took a whole day private tour of The Rock with Carl which was wonderful too. I drive all over Europe and, coming from Spain, I had expected to drive on the left there, but Gibraltar is one of the only British colonies where you drive on the right.
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.

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.
