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.

Favorite Places: Iona Abbey

 
One of the top places on my "bucket list" was the Abbey on the Isle of Iona off the coast of Scotland. You get there by taking a train to Oban, a ship to Mull, a bus down Mull, and a ferry across to Iona. We stayed two days and in the late evening we went to a vesper service. The worship leader's message was on the gift of hospitality. They welcomed us with open arms. I would not have missed this for the world. The cemetery is full of Vikings and the last resting place of Macbeth.
