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.

Great sculpture all in one place

So, if you don't have time to make it all over the world to view great sculpture, just head to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The photo above was taken from a catwalk over the storage room. You can see that they have a copy of Michelangelo's David (the original is in the Accademia in Florence). The British went out to all of the countries and made castings or copies of the great art and brought them back.  Certainly the V&A has some great originals, but they have this whole room of copies. I found it surprising.
