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.

Newgrange
December 21 - the rebirth of the sun. Today the sunlight comes through the passageway and illumines the center of the mound. This ancient formation is older than the pyramids. I took this photo of Newgrange in Ireland to show the whole mound. Notice the people gathered at the entrance to the passageway. We entered it. I found it somewhat small for me and others did not fit. But, I did get to the center and out again! It was a summer day, and thus did not see the sun on the wall inside. Besides, it was not dawn.
