AROUND THE WORLD

                                                               

This is not PPF

~ LOL ~

I don't know how to read instructions

and had already put this blog together

when it was pointed out to me

by a friend what the rules were. 

Too late and too much work later..... 

So I am posting my Around the World

but not participating in PPF this week. 

 I will be looking at others though!!!

 

 

(This is a picture of the picture I took

as I have lost the negitive and this one is poster size.

The orginal was taken with an old Pentex 35mm

and the copy with my Kodak Z740 digital camera.)

 

The picture I choose for Around the World,

I took on a trip in England. 

It really covers a good part of the world

because on this night in a British Pub

I took this picture of a Scottish gentleman, an Irishman,

two Englishmen, and an American. 

The Scottish gentleman is the man on the left side of the picture

and he sang me an Irish Ballad. 

He smiled and ask, "How often do you think that a Scottish man

sings an Irish Ballad to an American woman in a British Pub?" 

It is a night I will never forget. 

Which brings me to my Around the World

and that is no matter where you go

Around the World you meet the nicest people. 

I have not traveled a lot but I have been to England,

Greece and to the Bahama's (outside the USA)

and all three trips I met the nicest people. 

In England, the owner of the Bread and Breakfast

we stayed in took me shopping to the local little shops

and introduced me to her friends. 

In Greece, the owner of the hotel we stayed in

went into his wine cellar and gave me a bottle

of his grandfather's wine to bring home

(that was not ask for ~ it came out of the blue)

(I still have it and that was in 2000)

and in the Islands just one of the nice things that happened

was the cab driver pulled over and picked three flowers

for my Mom and Sister and I to put in our hair. 

 I don't think that nice people are unique

to any part of the world ~ I think they cover it!!!
