Another Land Worthy of a Visit

Smile and Say "Green"

Anyone who knows me understands my love for "the land."  Given a choice for travel, I would select Israel and the West Bank.

Please add Ireland to my list as a close second.  On July 9th, I departed for the emerald isle along with my wife, daughter, and nine other travelers.

Wonder and amazement characterize best my response to the beauty of Ireland.  There are at least "forty shades of green."  When you add the rich history of this country and the deep faith of its people, past and present, this journey is a profound learning experience.

Of course, I can't wait for my return to "the land" in December, but this pilgrimage to Ireland merits perhaps a return as well.
