A Weblog Finally!!!
Well we've only been here for 6 months and have finally gotten around to developing a weblog. C'est la vie as the French say.
We just got back from Scotland with our friends the McKinnons' and had a great trip. Steve and I played two rounds at St. Andrews including a round on the famed Old Course. We got a true test of Scottish golf as the weather was about 43F (8 C) with 30+mph winds and heavy rain through most of the round.
I likened it to Third World travel, while you are out there you don't necessarily find it that enjoyable but after it's all said and done you are glad you had the experience.
The next day the weather was much nicer. No wind, partly cloudy and about 50F. Other than golf we did some sightseeing in and around Edinburgh as with the exception of Betsy the other 3 of us had never been there. We saw a few castles, wandered around the city and dragged the women to the Scottish Whisky Heritage Centre for a tour. The tour wasn't that impressive but the tasting afterwards was very nice!
In Edinburgh we stayed in a beautiful old Victorian style house that had been converted to a dozen rooms or so. The rooms were outstanding and we got a great deal as it was through Steve and Cindy's time share club.
Our flight home was uneventful and it was off to work for a short week, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday.
Today Saturday Apr23 is grey and rainy so no bbq'ing this weekend.
