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.

San Stefano, Verona, Italy
St. Stephan's (San Stefano) in Verona, Italy had a monastery next door. The church is lovely overlooking the river at Ponte Pietra. The monastery has been converted into a Bed and Breakfast and we really enjoyed it. The owner was gracious, helpful and - it is true - even did our laundry! As well, when I made the reservation I doubled the cost and was willing to pay 400 Euros for two nights lodging as it was a great place - wait - not 200 Euros a night, but 100 Euros a night. Lucca is a great host. Doesn't speak English and I don't speak Italian, but we understood one another very well.
