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.

Michelangelo's Moses, St. Peter in Chains, Rome

Funeral or cemetery art is a field of study that looks at the way humans decorate grave and tombs. Rome is full of the resting places of famous people. Some of the art used on these tombs is remarkable. People commissioned the great artists of their day to create these tombs.  Above is Michelangelo's Moses. Very impressive. For a little comparison see below. It is a cemetery along the Shannon River in Ireland.
 
Not so simple crosses.
