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.

Jeanne d'Arc or Joan of Arc as she is known today

 Statue of Joan of Arc in Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris
Statue of Joan of Arc in front of the Lower Chapel at Mt. Saint Michele, France

     Joan of Arc is  major figure in French history and there are many statues of her in France. The Joan of Arc Museum Rouen is very well done. There is also a Cathedral a few feet from where Joan was burned at the stake in Rouen. Certainly there is much myth here, but Joan was obviously an important female in the country and after her death canonized as Saint Joan.
