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.

Bucket List Check: Picasso's Goat

One of the things I have long wanted to see is Picasso's Goat in person.(Second floor, right  off the elevator in the Picasso museum in Paris) I have used this as an example in teaching art to Elementary School children. I first saw it in a slide in Art Appreciation as a Freshman in College. This along with Guernica in the Prado in Madrid became a must do. I have done. Here is the Goat, Guernica was not available for me to photograph. (Tough looking guards.)
What I say about this found object sculpture is that "Picasso's Goat looks more like a goat, than a goat looks like a goat." Some kids pick up on that immediately.
