One of the fun displays at OMSI (The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) in Portland was a collection of works in Legos. Everything from a life-sized dinosaur to the Mona Lisa. In this case, Venus de Milo is presented among other works. One imagines that it took hours and many Legos to create it. Even if one does not appreciate the medium, one has to appreciate the time and effort that has gone in to these pieces. Exhibit travels around the United States. I first saw a smaller grouping in Redding, California USA.
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.
