Comment on Church on Cave Monastery grounds
Walt and I enjoy traveling to interesting places, meeting new friends, and sharing our adventures with others. I started this journal-blog when we made our extended trip to Asia in 2006. Writing the blog has gotten to be a habit. After this trip around the world, I am going to limit the blog to one per trip.
We hope you will keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.... full info
