Back to Gauldry, Scotland

Mom, Ann, and Dad in Newport on Tay after tea at the Manna Coffee Shop.

Mom, Ann, and Dad after lunch in Cairne at the strawberry farm. Yum!

After the troops left on the Night train to London and we got one more night of sleep in Edinburgh, we checked out of the apartment and have headed up to Gauldry to spend the day and night with Ann. It only takes about an hour to get there so will have the whole day to catch our breath before the last half of the touring begins. We toured around the Kingdom of Fife (where Gauldry is), had lunch at Cairne on a strawberry farm, and then went to Monty Feith to try and find (without luck) where Mom and Dad lived before they moved to Gauldry. They're going to see if they can't find a return address label when they got home from an old letter and have Ann go find it. After that we went to the Manna Coffee Shop in Newport on Tay and had a nice cup of tea and a piece of cake (I could get used to this too!). This coffee shop was neat b/c not only did it use fair trade tea/coffee but the local Church of Scotland runs it through all donated baked goods and uses the money to fund their youth group. They also have now started selling fair trade craftie goods there too from Africa. I bought a necklace from Kenya and a local artists picture of the Isle of Skye. Just wonderful. Now I'm all caught up and this takes us to today 6/18/2010. Sorry about the lag. (although you wouldn't have ever known, would you?)
