WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet.

The Rock of Cashel and the Empire State Building

There are certain places that are so unique or charming that we remember them vividly. We recall when we first went there and what we did. The head line is about the Rock of Cashel in Ireland and the Empire state Building. I remember the day that I first saw and experienced them. The Grand Canyon is another such place as is the view from the top of the gondola in La Villa, Italy (the South Tyrolean Alps).

Yet, other places surprised me for different reasons. Like the Buena Vista Hotel on Lake Como. Not that special except when you meet the owners and they cook breakfast for you. There is Marble Canyon just off the Icefields Parkway in Alberta Canada. Never heard of it and would not have gone if it hadn't been suggested by someone. I really like the village of Crail just outside Saint Andrews Scotland. I never would have had haddock scrambled eggs if there were vacancies in St. Andrews that night.

I suppose one can plan for these wonderful moments, but I find them to be surprises.
