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.

I love Paris in the Springtime...

      Yesterday it was 110 degrees at our California home.  The electricity went out at around 7 pm and did not come on until sometime in the night. We are used to air conditioning and having a dishwasher and watching TV or working on the computer.
     24 months ago we rented an apartment in Paris about 1/2 block from the Louvre.  It was hot in Paris (or as the song says "it sizzles"). The only form of air conditioning we had was an open window. There was no need for a dishwasher as we ate at corner cafes. Why would anyone need a computer? It is Paris. An evening walk along the Seine is better than Facebook; those are real people enjoying other real people.
