Hello from Scotland!

We've had trouble finding a computer to use so communication has been sparse. I bought minutes at our hotel here in Glasgow so I could touch base with you all. We had two days in Edinburgh and saw a couple castles and a lot of sheep. Moved to Ft Williams where we saw another castle (this really was a bloody country)and the home of a Duke. Dad and I also went to a distillery (whiskey)and got a free taste at 10 AM. I was tempted to buy a bottle (on sale) to bring home but like a true Scot, I pinched my pennies and abstained.

We are in Glasgow for tonight and tomorrow morning after which we take the ferry to Northern Island. This is beautiful country and I'm so glad G'ma and G'pa were able to finally see it. They are quite tired and sore but everyone goes out of their way to watch out for them and make accommodations. Dad seems none the worse for wear after his fall. I think he may have used the excuse to catch some extra sleep to overcome the jet lag (don't tell him I said that!)

I can't upload pictures - this is a thin client with no access, but if I get the chance in the next couple days, I'll upload what I can to Facebook. More later if I get my hands on a computer. Love to all.

  2. So glad to hear from you. We didn't get to see Glasgow b/c of car trouble. Can't wait to see pictures. Love to all.
