EXPLORE: Beth Adkins, a native West Virginian whose mother, Kay Adkins, lives in Barboursville, has been a geography professor at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, for several years. She and a friend, Brian Shaffer, recently traveled to Italy by way of Dublin, Ireland, and spent many days exploring castles, museums and architectural wonders found in Naples, Pompeii and Rome. They explored Dracula's Castle in Bucharest, Romania, walked in the Apostle Paul's footsteps on the Appian Way in Rome, and were fascinated with Vatican City, which has a museum that features over 20,000 pieces of art.
