Edinburgh

This past weekend we had the opportunity to take a wee vacation to Scotland. It was a chance to meet more people involved with Heart 2 Heart Scotland and relax before the business of spring and summer ministry. We arrived late Wednesday night and left Sunday. Thursday we went to Edinburgh and spent the day there. We met Leslie for lunch at the Filling Station and after that we headed up to the castle.

And to top it all off, pink sheep! Sorry that the picture is not very good, but if you click on it, you will see the sheep a wee bit better. We had dinner at Wanda and Brian's house, a delicious meal and they even snuck some haggis into it!
