More on the Highlands & Islands
Well, it's been a while since we actually trooped around the North of Scotland with Mom and Dad and our friends from Tacoma, but as life returns to normal and returning students flock to St Andrews I'm remembering some favorite moments from our whirlwind tour.
A trip to Loch Ness is never complete without a stone skipping competition (I didn't win) and a fish dinner by the banks. The weather was cool and peaceful. Surprisingly enough we didn't see the monster...
I loved driving through the mountains and valleys. I loved the morning we woke up in our B&B to see heather blooming on the hills, and to enjoy a terrific Scottish breakfast complete with blood sausage. Yum.
The best moment though was sitting in the kitchen of our self-catering lodge - the last stop in our journey - and hearing our friends tell the story of how they came to Christ. I will treasure that memory for a long time to come.

It concerns me that people might not be able to read the legend on Josh's beanie: "Glenfiddich," the famous Scottish distillery. It is almost as good a cap legend as that of my friend Jim Saxman, who had a baseball cap with "Batesville." He was in the funeral home business at one time and Batesville is the nation's largest manufacturer of caskets. Dad
