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.

Italy: Old Is Good

    The photo above may look like an island in the South China Sea, but it is actually plaster loss on a building near the Piazza Navona in Rome. I'd bet if it was in the United States we would see it as a scar or just repair it. Rome - and most European cities - see this as history. These are wear marks. The plastering over it or repair of it would erase the past. Old is good. Old is wonderful. Every birthday I keep reminding myself of that. No need to hide it. We need to celebrate it.
