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.

The Dolomites, Sud Tyrol, Italian Alps

 

The Dolomites are limestone mountains in the Northeastern part of Italy. Because they are limestone, they have weathered into interesting shapes. They have an otherworldly character to them. Following two weeks in Italy which included Rome, Florence and Venice we spent a week in the Dolomites before going to Austria, Lichtenstein, Switzerland and the Italian lakes. 

This photo was taken with a long lens and depicts the back of the top station to a chairlift that runs from the other side of the cliff. These places are open all year long. They are a nice place to have lunch and see the world from. Often they are the top of a lift that opens to hiking trails.
