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.

John Knox House, The Royal Mile

One of the best pictures I have ever taken (IMO) ... from John Knox's study window on the 
Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Scotland. 
In the distance you can see St. Giles, the church that Knox served. 
In each glass pane you see some of Edinburgh modern life: a phone booth, a cab,
a delivery van, people on the street. 
Note that the glass is original to the building, most likely bottle glass.  
A bottle is blown and, while still hot, it is cut and laid out on a flat surface. 
Because bottles are small, each pane is small..
