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.

Florence Suggestion

The Academia, the Baptistry, the leather markets are around
the dome of the cathedral in the center of this photo. There are many things to see and do. The galleries are wonderful, the plazas busy.
Let me suggest taking a cab across the Arno River and up the hill to 
The Church of  San Miniato al Monte.
This is the place where some of us went to hear chanting and attend mass.
It is the one of the highest  places ("Montes") in Florence.
Great music and this is what to see from the doorway.
(Plan ahead and get bus passes at a liquor store for the ride down. There is no phone to call a cab there.)
