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.

Florence, Italy

"Paradise of Exiles. This phrase, which the poet Shelley coined, sums up an idea of Florence that has been floating around for at least 200 years: the idea of a city where the outcast foreigner, merely by virtue of living in proximity to glorious works of Renaissance art, can experience a renaissance of his own." -  Novelist David Leavitt

You are not allowed to take pictures of the David at the Academia in Florence.
So, you never saw this.
