Wow! What a day we had. We woke up to sunny blue skies, warmer temps and gentle breezees. That may not sound like much, but after a few days of on-again, off-again rain and rather windy days . . this was perfect!
To top it off, we went to Sunday service at St. Giles cathedral. The sounds of that massive organ and that choir, reverberating through that gigantic stone sanctuary was amazing. We all had communion and got to participate in a service that was a bit more formal than ours, but at the same time, very familiar. (Except for the part about passing around the silver caldron of wine that we all drank from!)
We probably set a record for number of photos taken by a goup of tourists in one day! The trip over to St. Andrews passed over some beautiful countryside . . then arrival at the village of St. Andrews and going out on the Old Course, the beach, the St. Andrews Cathedral, (where perhaps the bones of the disciple reside), the castle . . . and on and on and on. We strolled Market Street, stopped for a light lunch of soup and sandwich, then took our bus to Dundee where we are spending the night.
Tomorrow we're off to discover more of the hinder-lands: Elgin and a few other places.
To our incredible congregation, and to the parents of our youth, we thank you for your continued support. We will represent you well over here and look forward to bringing back a part of our Presbyterian heritage to share with you.
Tune in later for more news and updates.
