San Stefano - Saint Stephen

Travel should not about checking off a list of countries (or cities for that matter). It should be about getting outside your comfort zone. It ought to mean meeting new people in their own context and learning from them, not judging them.  I have seen what they mean by "ugly American" and have been embarrassed. I have also made my own blunders, but hopefully folks thought me ignorant and not stupid. To this end, here's to travel and one of my favorite places.

Ponte Pietra, Verona, Italy
