The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
WELCOME

Ponte Vecchio Verona Italy
Not long after beginning a visit to Italy, you begin to understand some Italian. If not, you miss out on things. The word "ponte" is the word for bridge and they are everywhere. "vecchio" is "old". In Verona (one of my favorite Italian cities) the Ponte Vecchio is part bridge and part fort and part museum. It is a remarkable piece of art, as well. We were blessed in our visit by a rainy day and it seems fitting. The tower in the distance is fun to go up and see the city. It is on the oldest section.
