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.

Violence in Paris


There were several police officers wounded or killed yesterday on the street pictured 
in the second photo.
It is a busy main drag in one of the world's great cities.
The upper photo is one I took of an equally busy place where no police were hurt yesterday. 
My point is that every city, these days, has violence and every city has a place of peace.
We do not allow the potential for harm keep us from experiencing
the wonders of these places - be they Paris, Madrid or San Francisco.
If we are afraid - rather than realistically cautious - the bad guys have won.
