Fascinating Travel Destinations Thu, 11 Jun 2026 21:17:05 -0400 en-us © 2026 Fascinating Travel Destinations yes b3ca5839-15c1-5718-ab37-4133e37364e3 Rick episodic false Each week we will choose one location and begin with a tale that will encapsulate the flavor of the area – something a bit beyond what a travel book would tell you, but something that will be much more fun & interesting to hear.  Then we will give a travel tip of two. 


Some weeks, we will delve into the realm of myth and lore, others we’ll look at a historical figure or two, sometimes it may even be about the land itself.


The goal is not to provide an in depth travel log or all the info you would need to visit a location.  But a fun few minutes about a place you may want to visit some day or just plain know a little bit more about.

Caesar is well known in history, but there are some stories that are deeper in the annals of history.

Hear about the religious ritual at his house that ended in divorce.

Did you know that he was captured by pirates? And it was the pirates who ended up paying a much steeper fee than the ransom than the one for Caesar that he made them increase.

Get some tips on visiting the Forum and Rome in general too!
