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.

It is the people
This is a lovely Scottish castle opened to visitors by the owners who need the money to keep it. The utilities alone are high. There is also a beautiful garden. But the owners' story was much more interesting, It made me think of others I have met: a physician in Scotland who had done a residency at the same time I did my clinical work in San Francisco, a salesmen who bantered and kidded back in forth at a BNB in Ireland, a merchant in Florence that thought us the meaning of Pinocchio, a cab driver in Vienna who gave me a free tour on the way back to our boat in the harbor. I can think of almost one or two special encounters in every place I have gone. It is fun to collect new friends.
