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.

Too Close to Home

This is a sculpture at the Bay in San Francisco. I have lived near the city for five decades and it was the first time I was down at this part of S.F.     I lived for seven years in Long Beach California and on a clear day you could see Catalina Island, 26 miles off the coast. I never went.  After moving away and returning many years later I finally took the ferry out. I have lived in the Central Valley of California and could go to Yosemite any time I want, or to Lake Tahoe, or to the beach, but didn't. But, I gladly get on a plane and fly half way around the world to Paris. The other places are too close to home.
