There is a fantastic view from Montjuic Castle that sits high above Barcelona. A good way to reach it is by Hop On Hop Off Bus or city bus and then take the gondola tram to the top. The castle is very near the venue from the Barcelona Summer Olympics. On one side of the castle you can see the cruise ships in the harbor and on the other side you can see the city. With a long lens you can photograph the Sagrada Familia (The Sacred Family). The castle was begun in the 17th century and the cathedral in the 19th.
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.
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.
