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.

The Vatican and St. Peter's are not in Rome

     People will ask if you went to see the Vatican, St. Peter's, or Sistine Chapel when you went to Rome. The best answer is that they are not in Rome. The Vatican is its own country. It may be surrounded by Rome. People can walk in without a passport or visa to the place pictured above but there are walls around much of  the rest of it. If you go to the top of the dome of St. Peter's you can see it all.
