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.

Not the Colosseum in Rome

     This is not the Colosseum in Rome. That one is bigger and not as well preserved. This the Arena in Verona. It is still a working place for events and operas. While I enjoy Rome, I must admit that Verona has almost all of the same features on a smaller, more tourist friendly scale. I love Verona, Italy.
     It is full of art and easy to get around. But, do not go to Juliet's House. The balcony is not that old, and it is a made up location. Same holds for Juliet's grave. Juliet was a fictional figure (although possibly based on a  real person.) It is crowded and you can spend time better at the museum across from the Arena. It is filled with real objects of interest.
