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.

Why do we travel?

This is a photo of our grandson meeting other school children in Zambia. We were gathering for a school concert.
We do not travel to see how different our country and culture is from others.
We travel to see how much alike we are.
Everywhere we go we meet people who love their country, but also the world we share. We meet new friends and laugh together. We discover foods that we never knew existed and grow as an extended family around a dinner table.
While the United States is the most familiar to us, we have learned that it is not the best place. It is one of the wonderful places among many in the world.
