Kristy and Jeff Thompson are a sister and brother traveling team. We have always loved books. Books in many ways inspired this trip. When Kristy was in elementary school her favorite books were travel books from the school library. Jeff as a history buff wanted to see the places that he had spent years studying. Kristy and Jeff hope that other people will be inspired to go there and to learn about its history. Both cities have so much to offer. ~ ~ "Youth is the time to travel-both in mind and in body-to try the manners of different nations. I travel not to go to anywhere...but to simply go". Robert Louis Stevenson
