A Stroll Through Dean Village 6/9/11

Nestled along side the Waters of Leith between Belford and Queensferry Road lies the charming little village of Dean.

Construction Everywhere

St. Andrews 6/8/11

 It was the perfect day to visit St. Andrews, blue skies with amazing fluffy clouds, warm but not hot.  If you are a golfer you might be interested in knowing, if you don't already, that St. Andrews in Scotland is known to be the birthplace to golf and is home of the worlds oldest golf course.  It's also home to what was once Scotland's largest cathedral, which is now in ruins.

Galway and the Farmers Market

Kayak Polo
One of the many activities going on in Galway during its Cuban Festival was Kayak Polo.  This strange game is much like water polo with the use of Kayaks and higher nets. The game itself was played in what looked like a specially made lock on the river in the Latin Quarter.

Farmers Market
The Farmers Market, or what the locals refer to as the Saturday Market, is just what you would expect to see, a bustling street stuffed with local merchants offering a wide variety of fresh foods, treats and handmade goods. 

Skye Tour

To start out our three day Skye tour we were faced with terrorist attack.  The theory is that a boy from the school across from the road fired a rock from a slingshot. I think he was trying to get me; I was the only one sitting by that cracked window.

The photo is of the tour guide, Neil, and Pete doing a makeshift repair on the damaged window.

Notice the Asian photo-bomber in the window.

While not the oldest, and definitely not the most impressive piece of architecture on the palace grounds, this little shed in the field does provide a scenic view across a pasture.
