Sorry for the delay in posts... I am on an iTouch so I am limited in what I can do.
I am in love. First with St.Andrew's in Fife Scotland. The beach is so beautiful & peaceful. You feel like you could walk for miles. The little town is so picturesque with it's old buildings & coblestone streets. While we were there Ryan got to play st.andrew's old course which was a dream come true. It is the oldest course in history & one of the most famous. I walked the course when Ryan played- what a beautiful and difficult course. So Ryan & I changed our plans just so he could play there. In fact, we slept in the car and Ryan was in line at 2:30 am just to make sure he got on the waiting list. You see, normally you have to book a year in advance for tee off times. But they also take walk ons the day of if there is space. That morning there were more than 20 guys lined up hoping to play. It was an amazing experience to walk where so many GREATS have played- such as Bobby Jones, Tiger Woods & Arnold Palmer.
Holly, you'll love this next part. I got to see the William Wallace Monument. That's the Braveheart guy, incases you didn't know. And no I don't mean Mel Gibson. I was wishing Holly & Kristy could have been there with me. You could even buy the his Tartan there.
I am in Dublin now and I am in love with Ireland. We have had the priviledge of hearing live bands at the pubs and they are so talented. We even were a part of a live taping of one bands DVD. Old Irish folk tunes and some original ones too! Everyone in the pub is singing & clapping along; you can't help but smile and join in!
Tomorrow we are off to Northern Ireland- can't wait!
I hear Thunder Bay is hot... It's been raining almost every day here, but I am still having fun :)
