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.

End of World War Two

Photo by Marietta McLellan
 
This statue stands outside the Memorial to World War Two in Caen, France. It is a copy of the famous photograph of the sailor kissing the nurse at the end of World War Two. The memorial has sections about the rise of the war, the war itself and the Cold War following. It is great statement regarding peace. It centers not so much on battles, but on the people.
