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 Bapristry, Florence Italy

        You need to know someone in the know. The famous golden doors (or actually a copy) sit outside. Inside the Baptistry is the place where people were declared Christian before being able to go across the courtyard to the Duomo or Cathedral. There is a hidden doorway that you likely would not see, but it goes to th galllery where women would go to see the service. They did not have women clergy as we have today. From this gallery you look down on the main floor and are also closer to the ceiling with its art. I think you just need to ask. We did.
