Our stay on the Isle of Skye has been remarkable. The weather actually is better than it was when we were here in July '06 -- it's a lot like home, actually. Frosty in the mornings, cool in the daytime and crisp in the evenings. We haven't been outside a whole heck of a lot, between sleeping in, reading, napping and eating, but we have managed to venture out at least once a day and it hasn't been bad at all.
The food here is...um...out of this world. The seafood is incredibly fresh (prawns, scallops, turbot, langostines (sp?) and John Dory) and the beef (which Mark has had every night) is unmatched. For breakfast each morning, we've had fresh biscuits, honey, home-made granola with local yogurt and peat-smoked local salmon. Because we are in Scotland and they are ever so proper here, we've had tea every day at 3:30, which includes more biscuits, homemade cookies and little tiny pies. It's amazing that we still fit into our clothes. We've managed to keep a log of our dinners each night, although after a few pre-dinner cocktails, some of the spelling is questionable (for those keeping score, Mark spells the word "oatcakes" with a "k" at the beginning of "cakes," sort of like TASTYKAKES. Quite hilarious.
Anyhoo, here are a few pictures from our time in Skye. We're headed back to Glasgow in the morning, and off to Edinburgh for dinner. Can't wait to see you all when we get back! Love you!
