ON THE ROAD

 

 

Susan Bost is reading the Town Crier in the “Fairy Glen” on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of Scotland. (Susan says the Faeries broke the camera after this shot!) Photo taken by her son,
Christopher Crosson.

From Scotland.com: Suspended in turbulent seas with cliffs that plunge into dangerous waters, many islands have an air of mystery, but on the Isle of Skye belief in the existence of fairy inhabitants or “little people” dates back to prehistoric times. Once believed to have evil

overtones, Scotland’s fairies are believed to live in “beehive” houses (photo above left) buried deep in the heather in The Fairy Glen on the north end of the island near Uig. The Fairy Glen cannot be found on a map, but if you’re visiting Scotland and you go to the Isle of Skye and you’re lucky, one of the island’s human residents might tell you a story or walk with you through the wild landscape. Just be sure you wear any color but green!

Germany

Kevin Baxter celebrated his birthday early while visiting Germany. It was a wonderful trip to many cities, but while in Dersau Kevin reconnected with Rolf Wilms, his employer from 40 years ago! Tomas and Sonya Wilms housed this wandering group of four for three days. Inge Wilms, Rolf’s wife of over 50 years, made many traditional German meals which were enjoyed by all. Kevin was very happy to share memories of his early travels with his wife Jodi, brother Ken and his wife Jill.
