Mauri and Sherry

Posted by Sherry on June 14, 2008

Coming to you from a coffee shop in Oban, Scotland! We’re waiting for our ferry to the isle of Mull. After that we’ll take a bus across the island and then another ferry to Iona. Here are a couple of visuals from the past few days:

I wanted Mauri to take a picture of the sweet couple behind us on the train from Glasgow to Oban and somehow we got in it.

The language is the same here, but sometimes we need to think about what’s meant by the words they use.

And here’s the shot I was taking from the window. Kinda nice, huh?

Though it looks unassuming from the front.

And across the street—lawn bowling. I’m sure we’da tried it if we hadn’t spent the night before on an airplane. Maybe next time…

From our destination! I ran out of time at the coffee shop, so I have a couple more views of our journey to Iona.

Just part of the scenery on the ferry from Fionnphort.

My dear man on our arrival…a beautiful windy and sunny day. We’re enjoying it while it lasts.

We arrived just in time for tea and shortbread. We met the other attendees and got the instructions for the week. After a tour we were able to unpack. While most are living dorm style, Mauri and I get a room to ourselves. We need to get back for supper (we’re buying Internet time at a nearby hotel) so will say so long for now.
