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.

Ballydehob, Ireland
Ballydehob was an unexpected pleasure and the photo above is all I have to show for it. We were doing our usual "let's see where this road takes us" in Ireland when we saw a sign for a church rummage sale. We have stopped at these sales in a number of countries. When visiting them you learn about the area, what people think is trash or treasure, and almost always have a pleasant conversation. For a reason that takes too long to explain, I collect "church keys" or beer can and bottle openers. I have them from all over. The fun ones are for local breweries and at a church sale they cost about a quarter (US). Found three at this stop. They did, however, warn us on the outside of their building that they were keeping watch over us 24 hours a day. I found it amusing on a church.
