Nineteen years ago the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco landed on by birthday. (My 56th to be exact.) If it were not for the Kenyan runners and 25,000 others, we would have won. As it was, we came in in the top 30% of runners (walkers, drunks, nudists, Trans in high-heels etc.) which was pretty good for a race of around 120,000 people. It was great fun to go from the Bay at Montgomery street over the Hays Street Hill through the Golden Gate Park and down to the Pacific Ocean. You make a good many new friends. Today they are doing it for the 107th time. We are at church.
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.
