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.

St. Ninian's Chapel, Isle of Whithorn, Scotland
I took this photo on a walk out to the end of the Isle of Whithorn. St. Ninian brought Christianity to Southern Scotland not far from the MacLellan ancestral castle. Behind me is the open water of the Irish Sea. The chapel is one that was built after Ninian worshiped in a cave. Next came the Priory in Whithorn up the road ( a land bridge has been built to the Isle ). Southern and western Scotland is filled with these magically beautiful places.
