We have done it in Paris, Gibraltar, Brussels, Amsterdam, and here in Ireland on the Dingle Peninsula. We hired a driver to show us around. Even though I like to drive and drive in most of these countries, I still want to see things other than the road. Plus, it is nice to have a local tell me what we are seeing. The van at top is driven by the retired police chief of Dingle and even he was impressed by the beautiful day. The bottom photo would have just been a picture of a sailboat and an island without him telling us that the island is a giant man laying down - see him? Sure.
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.
