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 Pittock Mansion, Portland, Oregon, USA

Built in 1914 for Henry Pittock, owner of The Oregonian newspaper, and his wife Georgiana the house looks over the city of Portland, Oregon. It is now owned by the city and serves as a museum. The photo above was taken looking south from the north lawn. This was last December during one of Portland's usual overcast days.  The picture can be easily "photo-shopped" into summer, but this is more realistic. It  is an interesting visit and a good way to see the city. There is a charge, some stairs, and a lovely shop selling pretty things.
