We got up at 5:30 this morning to get Karen to Edinburgh Airport for her flight home. Don is just getting a brand new course started and so he stayed home while Karen and I made the trip. Everything went like clockwork and Karen should be in Newark, NJ, just about now. She'll have a 2-hour wait for the final leg of her journey to Jacksonville.
The photos today are from our Tuesday jaunt to Lochfyne Oyster Hut for a seafood lunch. It is in a gorgeous setting right on Loch Fyne which is north of Glasgow and not very far from Loch Lomond. Loch Fyne is a long and narrow sea loch which eventually reaches the Atlantic Ocean. You can't see the loch but above is a photo of the surrounding hills which were gorgeous beneath lovely blue skies. We all enjoyed our various seafood dishes so thoroughly that we only snacked on a few leftovers before going to bed that night after a rollicking game of Scrabble.
Yesterday it rained all day. In the pouring rain we drove to Perth to run some errands yesterday morning and then took the A9 to Pitlochry for lunch at the Port-na-Craig Inn and then a matinee at the theatre. We saw "The Magistrate," said to be one of the first British farces for stage. It was hilarious and the acting and staging were superb. The last two productions we have seen more than made up for the rather lacklustre performance we saw there in June of "Philadelphia Story."
We are having an absolutely beautiful day today. Don just got back from playing golf with Gordon. It was the first time he had played in over a week.
I will get the Aix photos uploaded and tell you a bit about that trip tomorrow.
