Taking a break from a game drive, we were invited to interact with some elephants saved from poachers. The elephants were relatively tame although still dangerous if uncontrolled. Then they asked if we'd like to kiss an elephant. Who wouldn't? Actually it is rubbing noses. It is simple. You put an apple in your mouth and the elephant takes it from you with a very wet trunk and you get a small face full of elephant dribble. Not very romantic and more fun to watch than to do it. This is my reaction to the experience - a small recoil.
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.

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.
