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.

Storytelling

When traveling we seem to be able to take an ordinary experience and turn it into an anecdote.
Collecting stories is one reason why I travel, but not as important as how traveling
changes me. It is true re-creation.
Take a simple event like coming to the Eifel Tower and looking at the long line for the elevator. 
I carry a cane because of long problems with my legs. I sometimes wear braces. At the
Eifel Tower, this last time, I was using a cane and as we approached the line a nice young man directed us away to another area. This area was not populated and a straight shot to the elevator.
Granted, it was welcome. 
This act of kindness is now an anecdote.
