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.

Venice, Italy


      We loved Venice, but with special conditions. We love it early in the morning before the cruise ships let out their passengers. We love it at night when the passengers all go back to their ships. We love the back streets and the small islands and the places where you can sit with a glass of wine and be among locals. We do not dislike tourists - we are tourists - yet we go places to meet local folks in their own environment.  Fortunately for Venice, the cruise ships are now to dock on the mainland.

The photo above shows the skyline of Venice from over the entrance to the Grand Canal. The Doge's Palace is the large gray building and to the left is St. Mark's Square.
