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.

The London Bridge - not this one
Let's get this straight before you fly to London. The picture here is of the Tower Bridge. It is by the Tower of London. It is a draw bridge and is not old. The Old London Bridge is in Arizona - dismantled and rebuilt there. The New London Bridge is a fairly straight forward bridge down near Westminster. Then there is the "Weeble-Wobble" bridge - a nearly new pedestrian crossing of the Thames. It weebles and wobbles and moves as you walk on it. There are a large number of bridges which can be seen while taking the Hop On Hop Off boat tour of the Thames. However, please do not call this the London Bridge. It is a bridge in London, but it is the Tower Bridge. Thank you.
