Hello again! We had a great day yesterday (Saturday) visiting the Highlands. Harry (our friend and tour guide) took us to amazing places. We saw a castle in ruins and many other amazing sights. We finished off our day with seafood (at the restaurant that is considered to have the best seafood in the country). It really was a perfect day with great weather. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and if you have every been to Scotland, you would know that is not normal.
Here are some pictures to give you a taste of what our day was like:
A view from Dunadd Fort -- a mountain we climbed -- where the King of Scots traditionally accepted his crown.
Some of the ladies on the team near some ancient burial tombs -- everyone appears to be slouching so Kayla and Sarah can be the tallest in the picture for once in their lives!
Have fun storming the castle!
(500 points for the Blue Team if anyone can identify the movie reference.)
I love these ladies, but I hate getting my picture taken. (#justbeinghonest)
The view from our van.
(Not that we followed this car all day, but more for the picturesque scenery!)
Matt and his fan club on the shore of Loch Lomond.
Today (Sunday) we had church at the Potter's House and visited our local ASDA. We had fish and chips for dinner and then went to a Celidh (Scottish dancing -- pronounced "Kay-Lee" -- yea, I don't know what phonics they're teaching over here either -- but apparently the "d" and the "h" are silent).
Tomorrow is our last full day in Scotland, and we have mixed emotions. We will spend half of the day in Edinburgh to visit the castle and walk the Royal Mile. Then, we head to North Berwick for lunch, and one of our campers is getting baptized in the North Sea. It's going to be an incredible privilege to share that moment with her! We wrap up the day at the Fraley's for a cookout.
We will update more later and post more pictures.
Thank you to everyone for reading and for praying for us. We have seen God do great things, and we know it could not have happened without your prayers and support. It's also amazing that no one on our team has gotten sick. Please continue to pray for grace and health as we head home.
We are looking forward to one more day in this beautiful country.
Love to all! (Liz wrote that part. Too mushy for me to write that.)
