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.

Rouen, Normandy, France

     Rouen is a lovely city with interesting places to visit. There is a great Joan of Arc Museum and the place where she was killed. There is a modern cathedral near her place of death. The larger cathedral has an evening light show. There are wonderful shops and cafes. 
     You need to be careful in places at night as some are not well lighted and you can trip and fall - first hand knowledge.
     The photo above is one that I needed to show. It is the side of a public building. Those are bullet holes and marks left from the fierce battles of World War II. They have been left as a reminder of the touch of war on the city. It was not a light touch.
     This is a wonderful city and worth a visit. It sits proudly on the Seine River not that far from Paris.
