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.

Large ships in Venice

This is a telephoto shot of the end of one of the islands of Venice. You will notice how high the water is. Saint Mark's Square, being even lower, often floods making it necessary to walk on portable risers. Large ships coming into the harbor make huge waves and turbulence which is eroding many of the old - all man made - walls holding back the water. Large ships are in the process of being limited in the bay. The large ships also make for a very crowded city during the day. This makes the evenings even more delicious for those of us who stay the night.
