What a wonderful experience!! Every college student should be required to view this show and use it as a sring board for their gap year. To pbs, what took you so long to produce this masterful show?

This was the best film I have ever seen on television. It should be shown in all United States High Schools.

To all our friends out there , known and unknown , and to all of you who have taken the time to blog , Thank you so very much ! I can’t begin to tell how much all of your kind words mean to both denis and I ! We are truly overwhelmed by your generosity of spirit . It really makes all the hardship worthwhile , knowning that you’ve touched someone life in such a positive way ! It’s a big responsibility - that we both intend to live up to …. FYI there where many times during the expedition that we wanted to quit , turn back , go home - more often then not the thing that kept us going were all of the people who believed in us ! Thanks for renewing this ground we walk on as we continue this last phase of our journey ! For the next few years we will be traveling around the country giving presentations - so tell everyone you know - better yet if you know of any Club , Organization, Society or School that would be interested ,Please ask them and let us know ! Once as newly made friend smuggled us across a closed border he said in parting ” Even Marco Polo must have needed help sometimes!” francis@returntovenice.com

This was a wonderful program. I attended the presentation at the Convention celebrating teaching and Learning and I nominate Francis O’Donnell and Denis Belliveau for next year’s Key Note Speakers. Their journey is inspirational.

I loved this program. I just stumbled on it on KQED in San Francisco and enjoyed more than even the best professional travelogues because their experiences were so real and genuine. Great job guys!!!
