Scotland!

I guess I actually have to start updating my blog again since mom isn't covering everything for me anymore.

I am in Scotland! The second greatest country in the world, as far as I'm concerned at this moment in time. I've always wanted to go to Scotland. What are museums and monuments and shopping outlets to lakes and hills and castles?

Monday we drove up the east coast a ways to St. Andrews Cathedral and Anstruther.  

We stopped and got some strawberries; Sister Griffiths says they are the best strawberries in the world.  However, we forgot about them until we were back from Ireland, and so I guess I shall never know. 

We also made a stop at St. Andrews Club, the first golf course in the world. My excitement for anything golf probably overwhelmed everyone there.  :)

Then we went to St. Andrews Cathedral, a ruin in Fife.  It used to be the seat of the archbishop of St. Andrews or something, who knows.  There wasn’t much left of it, but what was left was really beautiful.

I really like the cemeteries here and in England.  A nice break from the ones in Utah, where it’s just a plate on the ground, although I think I prefer the Utah ones overall.

Anstruther, a cute little fishing town on the east coast of Scotland.

Kate’s cute grandparents.  I love these two!

They have a fish and chips shop there that has won a whole bunch of awards so we went to get some.  It was haddock, so it really didn’t even taste much like fish, just like I like it!
