The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
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.

SCOTLAND: Holyrood
While in Edinburgh we wished to tour Holyrood Palace, the Edinburgh home of the Queen. Several times we were told that it could not happen because "Charles is there with that woman." Or, it was said that the Prince was there with "That woman."
As it turned out he married her. She now has a name. She is Camilla. Yet,we wonder if those folks in Scotland ever have given her her real name.
By the way, after a day "of cleaning up" they opened the palace for tours. It is really the Palace at Holyrood House. Mary Queen of Scots lived there. Nice digs.
