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.

Scottish Castles and Manors


     There are many castles in Scotland. Some of the manor houses are called castles even at that. These homes are often open to visitors as the admission prices help to off-set the cost of upkeep.
    The photo at top is one that we visited in the Northern Highlands with the photo below being an attached bungalow likely for the gardener. Beautiful gardens all around. 
      A suggestion that we often make is slow down and see fewer places and really see them well. When we are done with a trip, we have not seen everything. By seeing everything we believe we see nothing. We sat is this garden for a long time taking in the colors and smells. It was lovely.
