Last night on PBS we were watching Rick Steves' program on Rome. He was talking about just stopping by small churches that may not look like much on the outside but are grand inside. Here is one example. We were on our way to or from lunch - lots of eating in Italy - and stopped by this church which appeared to be nothing more than a door to something. Inside are these 12th Century Mosaics. This is a wow. Can't judge a place by its doorway... not in Rome.
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
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.
