IN SEARCH OF NESSIE...

and my Gaelic roots...


It's not always what you do, but the way you do it.
It's the difference between going through the motions and putting your heart into it with a little gusto.
Like they say, the dancer who is most enjoyable to watch is the dancer who is enjoying themselves the most.
I spent a day with a man who invited us into his world...
His name is Alan Fee.
He drives his bus like a Jedi warrior.

Here is Alan in his office, his comfort zone...after over 400 miles of two lane, winding road driving, while narrating the scenery, giving fascinating history lessons and telling jokes the whole time. Impressive! He made it very inviting to respectfully relate to his beloved Scottish homeland. I think his greatest talent, though is winning hearts and keeping laughter in the air. Though we had little time in Scotland, it was a great day. Does the sun always shine in this country?

Here are a few scenic shots of the Scottish Highlands from our eventful journey...

 ...and here is the famous Loch Ness. I think I saw a ripple...

There's a stranger and he's standing by your door,
Might be your best friend,
Might be your brother, 
You may never know...

Hey Alan, thanks for the lift...
