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.

Side Street, Brussels Belgium
We were on our way from San Francisco to Johannesburg South Africa by way of Paris. We could have made connections in Atlanta, Miami, or D.C., but Paris is more fun. With a stop in Paris, I asked my grandson to look at a map and figure out a place to take a side trip on the way and on the way back using Paris as a marker. First place he chose was Brussels (we hired a car and driver for a long day) and it was a nice train ride and interesting visit. On the way back we headed to Amsterdam for four days. These side trips broke up the 25 hour flights and were good fun.
