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.

Scottish and English Guards

One  of the interesting things about culture is the use of uniforms.
The Swiss Guard at the Vatican are brightly decked out.
Above top is a Scottish Guard at the entrance to Edinburgh Castle.
The lower photo is of a Beefeater telling of the history of the Tower of London.
Other guards, such as at Buckingham, wear the large bear skin hat.
Don't be fooled. The real guards can be in plain clothes or military garb.
