WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. 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. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Black Friars, Kilkenny, Ireland

 
When I was in Senior High School I had an Irish-American English teacher.
I wrote an essay on "How to get an 'A' on an Essay" in which I praised 'Irland' and the beauty of 'Irland'. It came back with an "F" on it but no other marks. I march up and demanded to know what was wrong. He took the paper and - with a twinkle in his eye - made the "F" into an "A" and taught me to spell a word that I will never forget!
