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 Dolomites, Italy
This photo was taken from the window of our bed and breakfast in La Villa, Italy. It is looking East across the valley to one of the mountains of the Dolomites that stretch for miles in the region. This is likely to be one that we went up in a gondola lift. You will note that it was taken in September of 2012 - not that it has changed much since then. The Dolomites are grand in summer or winter. They were the site of the Winter Olympics (Cortina) and plenty of bike, motorcycle, and auto races around the hairpin curves. (I found myself in a Porsche Road Rally coming down one mountain. I was driving a rented Mercedes B-Class - the Porches won...)
