The People Make the Places

By: Mike May and friends
  • Summary

  • We have years of written and audio travel stories, made even more interesting traveling as a blind person with a guide dog. This history will be combined with interviews and stories from others, blind and sighted. "It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive."

    Show Notes Scotland and UK, Episode 4, 2002-2024 38 Minutes in length

    This episode continues the Sendero WayFun group’s trip from Ireland to Scotland in 2004 plus current comments from Valorie Stanard, from the WayFun group. It includes a TechShare conference Mike and Gena attended around 2014 in Glasgow.

    Mike gives the mic to his son Carson, age 10, along with his mother OJ, to narrate their trip around the UK where they just happened to be in front of Buckingham Palace from the Queen Mom’s funeral procession.

    Mike and his childhood friend Mark Pighin join some Brits for a dining in the dark experience in London.

    In 2011, Mike and Gena went to London on their 3rd date. Three years later, they were married at Enchanted Hills Camp in the Napa foothills. We hear the voice of Carson May at the wedding, one of the last recordings of his voice before he was killed in an avalanche in 2016.

    Sneak peek, Episode 5 will take us to West Africa with recordings of Mike’s trip to Ghana in 1976 and a 2024 trip to Ghana on White Cane day by a mom and her 10 year old blind son. For more on Carson May, http://www.carsonmay.org/ For more on Ori Jean May, http://www.2OJ.net
