WELCOME

We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more.

Cahir Castle - County Tipperary, Ireland

     Photos by Mike McLellan

One of the "must-do" things is visiting European Castles. There are many in Continental Europe such as in Northern Italy, Austria, and Germany. People have an idea about those in English and Scotland.  Certainly popular ones in the UK are Edinburgh, Windsor, Kirkcudbright (MacLellan Castle) and Sterling.   In The Republic of Ireland too there are plenty to visit. Some are just manor houses that people called castles. (Such as Kilkenny) Then there are places like the Rock of Cashel and, of course, Blarney.
          On the way from the Rock of Cashel south, there stands, what is for me, a favorite. It is not over run by tourists and it has been maintained well.  It is Cahir Castle in the village a Cahir (a nice place in its own right.)
     Surrounded by water it is a great visit.  If you want to know more about it, Google it. There are lot of pictures and a complete history.
     Finally, another castle that is worth a visit (and off the beaten path, as well) is Trimm.
