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.

The Abbey at Iona
One of three goals for our Scotland trip was the Abbey at Iona - the spiritual birthplace of Scotland's Christianity. The other two were the MacLellan Castle in Kirkcudbright and St. Giles, the home of Presbyterianism. The Abbey was wonderful. We went to Vespers (evening worship) and were welcomed as old friends. We stayed in a b&b (The Argyle) and walked back there in the moonlight stopping in the cemetery where MacBeth is buried among Viking kings. Worth a trip using the train, a ship, a bus, and a ferry to get there.
