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.

Giraffe Injures Mother and Child

             It is easy to be fooled by the lazy, mild manner of a giraffe. They appear to move slowly although they can gallop when necessary. Sharp hooves make for dangerous kicks. The giraffe that attacked the mother and child in South Africa was said to be protecting its young. When we were there last year we saw many such pairs and kept a distance. In one case the baby giraffe still had its umbilical cord attached and even then both parent and baby moved fast. I am not laying blame, but warn folks that these are wild animals. I took this photo in South Africa 2017.
