England, Scotland & Wales - Scotland
July 6th, 2008Yesterday, during our tour of Edinburgh, we experienced our first day of rain on this trip. We walked the Royal Mile protected by our TM umbrellas. It was disappointing but we had one Scottish woman remind us they really need the rain.
This morning in Luss we worshiped at the Parish Church. The opening hymn was Pauline Bast’s favorite “Lord, you have come to the loch-side”. Our hymnal says lake-side. Howard said the service was very,very meaningful. Elsie Dick agreed saying “I would not have wanted to miss it.” Marge Bartel and Ruby Penner were pleased with our visit to the Green Welly where they were able to buy Scottish jewelry. The Celtic knot jewelry and the jewelry made from the heather plant are both beautiful. A number of other tour members joined them in retail therapy. Rumor has it that Linda Matthies was spreading expectations that the prize for Janet’s British/North American English quiz was a free TM tour! Tomorrow we fly home.
