Watching tourists being herded around from one touted site to the next just didn't seem like the way to go.  We make most of our own arrangements and wander alone.  The greatest benefits of travel are to be obtained from just wandering in and out of side streets, hopping on local busses and going off to small villages.  In this way we meet wonderful people, and have made international friends that we still communicate with.  We learned long ago that there was a marked difference between being a tourist and a traveler. 

     Exploring the planet, with all its wonderful beauty and incredible diversity is just about the most enjoyable endeavor of our lives.  Come with us now.  Perhaps we can entice you, too, to seek adventure and intrigue, off the beaten path.
