Monday, July 8

Today we decided to get some professional help on our  plans. We started with the Aberfeldy Visitor Information Center. Aberfeldy is where we are living for these two weeks. They gave us information on taking a train from Crainlarich to Mallaig, booking B&Bs in Inverness, information about the Isle of Skye, and some other stuff. To get tickets for the train trip, we needed to drive over to Pitlochry, about 20 mins. Before we head out, we walk around town and find a cute cafe that has a non-gluten menu - who knew and who expected such a thing. I  had a chicken sandwich and Linda had scrambled eggs with salmon on non-gluten seeded bread served on a wooden cutting board. And, we sat outside and soaked up the sun. Remember, we're in Scotland. Cute town. We buy the tickets, and went to a factory store where they made  jewelry out of heather. Nice looking stuff and very interesting.

We returned to the Aberfeldy Co-op and bought food for dinner. Chicken, brocoli and aspargus. Oh yeah, vodka for me and Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky for Linda. Linda thinks that she should drink the local stuff. So, we'll see how that works for her.
