Just one man's opinion, but the noisiest animal in Africa is the hippo. Sure when you are out in a tent at night in Zambia the thought of lions, cheetahs and wild dogs might keep you awake . On the other hand the grunt-howl-scream of a hippo in the distance makes it hard for me to sleep. They are surprisingly fast and can be very unpleasant. Here is a family grouping of them on an island in the Choe River.
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.
