Susan and Sheila (cousin)I spent 3 nights in Ireland prior to going over to Scotland. Susan's first time in Ireland. Beautiful country and spent time with Tommy Brennan--a crazy Irishman who taught one year in Canada with Susan. He showed us the countryside and we had a great time in his small village with his local friends. Afterward, we went on to Glasgow and then Edinburgh. Susan had been in Scotland before with David when Chris was going to school in Edinburgh. Really enjoyed my second visit. The scottish people are so friendly and the food was good this time (somehow a noteable contrast to our first visit). We headed south to Northern England and did a walking tour along Hadrian's Wall--built 2000 years ago by the Roman Empire. We stayed at 3 different B & Bs. Luggage was moved from place to place by taxi. We walked 80 km and the vistas were amazing. Being use to hiking in the Rocky Mountains this was a "walk in the park" but we had a wonderful time. At night we enjoyed the pubs and meeting the locals. We call this the Cousin Trek. Two years ago four of us (all cousins) went to Spain. Next stop hopefully will be Italy.
