During a recent jaunt to San Francisco, we were attempting to cross the street when a hurried driver came rushing into the crosswalk. In a scene out of a comic book, our hero stopped traffic — much to the chagrin of the motorist. :)

Hi! My name is Tricia Mitchell. I delight in telling stories about my slow travels through more than 65 countries. Some of my highlights have included sharing meals with locals in Armenia, Cambodia, and Tunisia; sipping sparkling wine with French cousins in Alsace; milking goats in a sleepy Bulgarian village; and training with a Japanese mine-clearance team in Laos. My husband, Shawn, and I are based in France’s Loire Valley.

      Ramey, yes, I love the whimsical happenings SF offers. It’s a pleasure to connect – sounds as though you had quite the adventure in Jordan and beyond.

      Yippee – sometime a shutterbug’s rewarded for having a camera in tow all of the time. :)

    Shades of the Big Bang. Where are super heroes when you need them most?? Great photo Tricia. Virginia

      Thanks Virginia, but I must admit, what is the Big Bang as it relates to superheroes? I think I’ve been living away overseas for too long, for I’ve lost touch with American pop culture. :(

    Great capture. There is never a superhero when I need one. Thanks Tricia.

      :) Sounds as though you need to take a trip to the Pacific NW and San Francisco, Mark. We spotted a handful of them in Seattle too.

      Bashar, the chance superhero meeting made our day. :) We saw a few superheros in Seattle as well. My cousin, a Seattleite, said one in particular was getting well known.
