I have lived most of my life within an hour or an hour and a half by car from San Francisco. Around here it is known as "The City". We don't call it "San Fran" and certainly not "Frisco". We speak of it with reverence. It is unique and generally a pretty place. I volunteered there, worked there, was educated there, and serve as a driver there. It has many of the same issues of every big city, but you can forgive them because of the special "aura" of the place. It is warmer in the winter and you may need a sweatshirt in the summer. You can eat well and get around on the buses. Parking is always a problem. It is fun. It is adventure. It is interesting.
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.
