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.

The Baptistery of St, John, Florence Italy



A beautiful octagonal building constructed between 1059 and 1128 the Baptistery is across a narrow street from the main church. It is the place where people enter the faith by baptism.  It is known for its golden doors and interior mosaics. A special tour takes you up to the second and top levels from which you can see the art close up. If you go, you must know that it is not a climb that is easy upon those with fear of close places or heights. The stairs are narrow and tight. But, it is absolutely worth it.
