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.

Memorial Day Weekend

Normandy France is a beautiful place with the ocean and small forests around.
Something else should strike you.
If you watch "Saving Private Ryan" or "The Longest Day"
you will remember the terrible sounds of bombs and rifle fire,
What will strike you in Normandy is the quiet.
As you walk though the headstones of various faiths there is silence.
Out of respect or emotion, there are no words.
