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.

Churchyard at St. Canice's Cathedral Kilkenny Ireland

A pleasant walk from the center of Kilkenny is this old, but lovely, church.
It features a tower (as do castles and fortresses).
The church yard is filled with graves as are most of similar places.
Inside, an officer of the church gave us a tour. It is nicely kept. The proud point for the guide was to show us the crypt in the wall where Barack Obama's relative is buried. Obama's mother was from Ireland. He knew we would be interested as we are Americans. He was right.
Do I always end up in churches and graveyards? Seems like it.
