Mike McLellan's Postcards

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.

Best Castle I Never Heard of

This is Cahir Castle - totally cool and totally not heard of by most people. They often will miss it travelling between Kilkenny Castle and the Rock of Cashel in Ireland. Don't be in such a hurry.

They don't speak English in Ireland

This is the front door of Wynns Hotel in Dublin. It is right in the center of all the activities. It is a bed and breakfast and their breakfasts were some of the best we have ever had. The interesting thing is that almost none of the waitress or waiter workers actually speak English. They don't speak Irish either. Most of them are from the Eastern block nations. It is true in many hotels in Ireland.
