BURY MY CAMERA AT WOUNDED KNEE

Sue G. here. Slipped in the bathroom this morning--nothing serious but the Ace bandage I packed is getting quite a workout. Today we had a sumptuous breakfast (including lemon marmalade!!!) and headed out on two ferries--first to the Isle of Mull, and thence to the island of Iona. Iona is an important site for early Celtic Christianity and was founded by St. Columba in 563 A.D. We had a gloriously sunny day and got to walk around the whole abbey site.

Drove back through another main road on Mull, managing to swerve around several sheep and at least one Highland cow (they're big, they're hairy, they have horns and, believe me, you do NOT want to ram your minivan into one). Back to Oban and back to work catching up on this blog.

I will summarize by saying that the scenery is indescribably gorgeous, the weather's been highly cooperative (minimal rain) and we have been pleasantly surprised by the relative lack of crowds (apparently the mob scene really does begin in July). Y'all come visit!
