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 Dolomites, The Alps, The Rockies, The Cascades

     Regular readers know that I love the Dolomites of Northern Italy. Certainly, I like the Alps as experienced in Austria or Switzerland.  But, if you are from the western United States you have encountered great mountain vistas in the Cascades or the Sierra Nevada.  Closer to home than the Alps are the Rockies. The photo above was take from a roadside picnic area near Banff, Canada. It is a common view of the Canadian Rockies and not a big example at that. As we live so near the Sierras and once lived in the Cascades, we began to think that other places had prettier mountains. Not so. But, they do have different experiences and that is reason to travel. You may be impressed by this picture if you have lived your whole life in Kansas. I am impressed by the miles of row upon row of corn.
