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 'Fontana di Trevi', or the Trevi Fountain

The 'Fontana di Trevi', or the Trevi Fountain is usually pretty busy, but there are always times when you can get someone close to the fountain and take their picture. The square in which the fountain is found is also interesting. You just have to turn around. When I was there half the fountain was being cleaned.

Of interest is that hundreds of thousands of dollars are tossed in the fountain every year and goes to charity work. I did not put a coin in the fountain -not because I did not wish to return to Rome - but because I don't necessarily believe in it. I preferred dropping funds in the poor boxes at church.
