In the Dolomites of Northern Italy there are surprises around every corner...and there are many corners on the narrow roads. As you travel those roads you can meet a bus, some sheep, a bike tour or, in the case above, a chalet on the edge of a sandstone cliff. To get there you follow the road around and up the mountain for a rewarding view of the valley. From the valley you can look up and wonder how they built the building. You need to remember that this is snow country near the Olympic site in Cortina. Other than our own neighboring Yosemite, these are the most amazing rock formations. This area is not easy to get to, but worth it.
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.
