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.

Alcazar Segovia Spain


     The Alcazar in Segovia, Spain is lovely from the outside. It sits on a point overlooking a valley. There is a moat in front and it is exactly as one would picture a castle in Spain. Inside, the details are splendid.  My habit is to look at ceilings and down to floors for some reason. It appears to me that they tell some special stories. These two photos are of a ceiling and an upper wall. The figures on the bottom one are just a few rulers of Spain. The upper one shows the Moorish influence with its emphasis on symmetry.
