Greetings from the Isle of Skye


We are about to drive around this amazing island where the sun came up this morning around 4am and went down last night around 10 pm. We went to a local pub for live music and my favorite piece was, (of course), Dougie's MacClean's song: Caledonia. There is a local ceilidh (traditional dance and music event) tonight, but we do not yet know if we will be here on the island or on our way to Aberdeen! The distances between cities are so short that we are constantly surprised. Yesterday we left York, spent a great deal of time at different locations on Hadrian's Wall, went to Glasgow, drove along Loch Lomond and through the Trossachs, and ended up here in Skye staying at a youth hostel! An adventure every day!!
