Loving your podcast. I am walking through the fields, around sheep, cows, stone walls, sunshine and Irelands magnificent nature. I'm on the Dingle Way. From Florida, I did the Saint Declan's Way last week and this week it's the Dingle way. Thanks for keeping me company! Thanks again. I am gliding along with your music. Makes the hills easier to horse through." Kyle Hayes emailed: "I'm very excited that you're going to be at the highland games in TN. I went the first time when I was 12, back in 2001 or so. It's when I got hooked on bagpipes, celtic music etc. I even had plans to join the Nashville pipe band, but didn't have time due to other activies. Now I'm teaching English in Mexico City and found out in May that there are pipe bands here, so I'm taking lessons so I can join them. Surprisingly, the pipe band I'll be joining as large crowds when they perform; there are also a number of celtic bands here as well. Enjoy Tennessee, I wish I could be there!" Anne Lorkowski posted a photo on Facebook after I posted a picture of me running on the beach. She writes: "What a coincidence, I'm listening to the new episode while running along the beach in Fiji! Oh did I say running? My bad, I'm actually drinking a pina colada during happy hour. Sláinte and Bula! 😊" There are a bunch of abandoned barns in Shakertown Biking through glorious countryside Andrew McKee and Jamie Haeuser
