Our daily ice cream. I have never seen a double scoop side by side before!

Tina in front of the Edinburgh Castle. It is situated on a hill, which was the most easily defended hilltop on the invasion route between England and Scotland. This entrance gateway dates from between 1886-8. Among other things, it is also the site of the Scot ish Crown Jewells, which we saw and which were quite impressive.

Two fiery preachers...Tina and John Knox.

Me, in front of the John Knox house, which is the oldest surviving tenement in Edinburgh, dating from around 1490.

John Knox is thought to have lived here from 1561 to 1572.

Tina, with our rental car, at 5 in the morning as we were dropping it off for her to leave on a very early flight

The Scottish countryside, out the window of the train, as I was headed back to St. Andrews from Glasgow. It kind of reminds me of driving across the US!

The beach in St. Andrews, about a five minute walk through the cathedral ruins, from my flat at 'Priorsgate.'

A boat in the harbor at St. Andrews--again, for my Dad
