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.

Gondola Repair, Venice, Italy

This is a gondola repair shop in Venice. To stop by and get a lesson in gondola building you find out that the boats are built off center. They are not symmetrical.  That is because the gondolier stands on one side of the boat and, if it were symmetrical, it would not be flat in the water for the riders. Seems like everything - complex or simple - has something to teach us.
