What Untours means to me

Hi Shirley! Welcome to the Untours Cafe. One of my favorite activities when traveling is also getting lost. Sometimes it's because I have a poor sense of direction (thank goodness I live in Philadelphia where the streets are laid out in a grid), but other times getting lost just means not having planned out somewhere specific as a destination. Some of the most interesting experiences are while wandering around.

Hi Shirley,
That is a great picture of you. I so enjoyed meeting you a couple years ago in Switzerland and then in the office as well. I hope to see more of you on the café!

Good to see you at the Cafe. Switzerland is our favorite spot in Europe and we hope to come back again and again (only three times so far) - especially after we our "fill" of the "thrill" of driving in Europe!

another person, Ann came to my rescue about writing a trip log and inserting pictures here and there in the trip log. Have fun, its a great site!

Well Shirley, I knew the neighborhood would go to pot sooner or later. I've sent you a pic of me at the 50th reunion by email.

Hey Shirley, good to see you! I need friends! Trying to figure out how to add that "friend tag". It was a treat being in Sachseln with you this visit. Hope it happens again.

Getting lost was a favorite pastime my mother and I had. We would stumble across a beautiful scene or an interesting place while "lost." It was easy to become "found." All I did was head in the general direction from whence we came. A familiar road or place would appear eventually. Those "losts" became some of our fond memories.
