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.

Shot Glasses and Refrigerator Magnets.

When traveling we do not do a great deal of shopping. We will visit a street fair and come back empty handed (although if I find an old beer can opener I will buy it.) Today as I was getting dressed, I pondered what I do bring back from traveling. 

The shirt I have on was purchased in Munich because I ran out during our month in Europe. I stuck my wallet in my pants. The wallet was purchased in Seville to replace on old one purchased in Ireland. On my left hand I have a ring purchased in Florence as I have lost weight and I needed a ring to keep on my wedding which kept falling off. Over breakfast I will use a glass locally made in Madrid. Don't ask me why.

As I walked around I see a picnic knife from France (Paris) and some pain pills from Slovakia. I ran out of ink in Edinburgh so there is a pen next to another one I bought at Harrod's in London. Then there is the bottle openner with the face of the Pope I picked up in the Vatican.

There is more. I guess I do go shopping.
