This book was written by me to share my travels with my grandchildren, and to help them know me better.

There are adventures galore to be had and many great people to meet, and opportunities to admire their fascinating and wonderful traditions in every land. I realized again that we are all Gods children in this beautiful and sometimes tumultuous world.

I dedicate this book to my children and their families, and thanks again to Kathryn Holt for her editing, and encouraging me in this endeavor.

In gratitude,

Ilse C. Wagner
