Scotland!

Today was a bit more relaxing as we ate a simple, but leisurely breakfast at "The Snooze" this morning in Liverpool (home to the Beatles). Liverpool seems to lack the charm of other English cities. There is an older area, but overall the town seems to be attempting a "a new image" which seems more modern. The skyline is beautiful and we enjoyed pizza by the bay this evening. The football stadium was next door and we looked at tickets - over $100 just to attend! Guess not this time!

We've enjoyed meeting other travelers, the couple we had breakfast with this morning was from Canada. (Interesting to here all about the "Common Wealth Nations.") A trip to see another country is more than just seeing the sites, but learning and enjoying the people there. So while we may not have seen every site planned or traveled to every place we hoped, we have enjoyed sitting and talking with those here and visiting some of the local sites they send us as well.

That happened today on our way to Edinburgh. Stopping at KFC for lunch we were set off to find a small lake set in the English countryside. It was a nice diversion and we were supposedly the first Americans the  young gal had every had the pleasure to serve at KFC!

The road trip up to Scotland was fairly uneventful. We are still learning the round a bouts and some of the other terminology used for directions. Thankfully, our car has a GPS system and "Cozette" as we refer to her has truly been a darling! :)

Whether enjoying the scenery, singing to Sovereign Grace, sharing memories or discussing various parenting concerns it has been a pleasure to share the trip with good friends.  We are blessed.
