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.

Doge's Palace, Venice

The Doge was like the mayor/governor of Venice and received a palace that was fit for someone of power. In the palace there is the world's largest oil painting and some marvelous globes pointing to Venice's domination of the sea. However, the first thing you see and your walk in up the stairs is this gilded ceiling. If you were a trade partner or possible enemy, you would have to be impressed.

We recommend seeing Saint Mark's Cathedral and the square, but do not miss the Doge's palace or the Fenice Opera House.
