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.

CASTLE GREGORY, IRELAND

YOU CANNOT CON A CON-MAN
We drove into the nearly empty and isolated parking lot of a bed and breakfast in Castle Gregory, Ireland. A wise-cracker (obviously either a member of Lions Club or Kiwanis) came up and asked if I had a parking permit. Without missing a beat, I told him we had an All-Ireland Permit in the glove box. Half of a fun couple from Limerick, we enjoyed them and Marietta – as we left for Dingle – announced to the breakfast room that we appreciated his paying for our stay. This is how you learn to act as a Rotarian of 30 years.
