This is a photo of just a part of the total group of pipers at the Highland Games in Pleasanton, California. The massed pipe band is definitely a loud experience. But, when there is a gathering of the clans, old hostilities are forgotten and the Scots are one. They all play the same tune, as it were.
My wife and I have logged many thousands of miles visiting brothers and sisters in many lands. We did not realize we were family until we had a chat or shared a meal. You see we are all part of the human race and kin under it all. We meet new friends all over. The differences, if any, all fade when we realize that everyone, everywhere, marches to the same tune.
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.
