The gold doors of the Baptistry in Florence draw many people and cameras. They are pretty, but they are fake. The real doors were taken down for safekeeping and are in the museum behind the Duomo. The museum is worth a visit and will likely not be busy because the tourists are out petting the pig or looking at David. Not that David or the pig are a waste, but the small museums hold a good deal. This is a photo of the real thing.
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
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.
