The Whispering Pines sounds like a campground near Mount Shasta, but it is a bed and breakfast in Kenmare, Ireland. It is owned by John and Mary who are not as generic as their names imply. What a great couple! First things first – Mary has to serve you tea in the parlor and hear your story as she gives you the run down on the community. John is the cook (I love black pudding) and local historian. Kenmare is a treasure and not over run like other places in Ireland. More about this soon.
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.
