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.

Rouen France and it's famous astronomical clock

On the way to the place where Joan of Arc was executed there is a happier place.
This clock is from the 14th Century (!) and has long told the people of Normandy the time
and more. 
It's name in French is the Gros-Horloge and the clock movement was made in 1389.
It just keeps on ticking.
