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.

David by Donatello, Completed in ca. 1440

I mentioned Donatello's David earlier.
It now resides in the Bargello Museum in Florence Italy.
The Uffizi Galleries are huge and you will wish to visit them, but there are smaller museums with
works you will never forget.
The adolescent David stands on Goliath's severed head. 
Interestingly, you can walk up to David and touch the work -- but you better not 
--the guard can see you across the room.
