WELCOME

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 Tower Bridge - what's in a name?

       This famous bridge crosses the Thames River at the Tower of London, thus it is the Tower Bridge. It has two towers, but that is not why it is called the "Tower Bridge". It is not the London Bridge, although many tourists think it is. The London Bridge is in Arizona USA (likely). The New London Bridge is in London and is flat so it is not notable like the Tower Bridge. There are many other bridges cross the Thames in London. This is what you get when a city grows on two sides of water.
