I have spent most of my life in Central California's valley. This grand collection of medium-sized cities and farmland is the richest and most prolific valley in the world. Food crops here are sent to all of the continents. It is hot in the summer and foggy in the winter, but boasts of both. The valley is defined on the East by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and on the West by the Coast Range. Most cities in the valley are only a short drive to skiing or surfing. (I do neither.) At the top of the valley is Mount Shasta and at the bottom is the Grapevine snaking into the Los Angeles basin. At the middle and to the East is Yosemite National Park and Kings Canyon. People come from around the world to see what is offered here.
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.

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.
