Bulgarian Cousins to Transylvanian Szeklers

Posted by Pat on June 8, 2019 in Travel | ∞

8 June 2019 “We Szekelys have a right to be proud, for in our veins flows the blood of many brave races who fought as the lion fights, for lordship. Here, in the whirlpool of European races…What devil or what witch was ever so great as Attila, whose blood is in these veins?…Is it a […]

Posted by Pat on March 23, 2017 in Travel | ∞

23 March 2017 I can’t say I am impressed with Air Canada. I have flown many legs, hundreds of thousands of miles, and hundreds of destinations. This time, I dropped from the list of “Priority Boarding” to Zone 5 by walking across a parking lot. Not all bad, as AC does board back to front […]
