Feeling Good in Scotland

---

Had a great day in St. Andrews today. Walked around the beach and around the Old Course (only the oldest golf course in the world). Watched some golf...was dissappointed. I thought that St. Andrews required certain handicaps before you could play on the Old Course. Apparently one group of Americans we watched either forged their documents, or somehow slipped by, because they were terrible. One guy hit a car, another almost hit me. We visited the Castle at St. Andrews where they had a Medievel festival going on. Walked around most of St. Andrews...it's a small town so it only takes about a day.

I loved it here. I'm from Arkansas so I like small towns. I like fresh air and open spaces even more.

Humps
I think this means speed bumps.

A Mini!
These things are a lot smaller than I realized.

What's Wrong with this Photo?
See how confusing this can be.

The Old Course
Here it is, the centuries old "Old Course" at St. Andrews.

I tried to write "Wish You Were Here" in the sand, but it didn't come out the way I wanted.

Got my feet in the North Sea. I got my whole person in the sea a day or so later, but stay tuned for that story.

Yellow Flowers
Scotland has these flowers everywhere. I don't know what they are, but they are beautiful and covered in thorns.

The Old Course
That's the fairway in the background.

The Old Course
The building on the left is the clubhouse for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. The reddish building on the right is probably the most photographed dormitory in the world. It's one of the student dorms for St. Andrews University.

Some crappy American golfers on the green. These guys were awful. ne even hit a car.

The Castle
They had a nice Medievil festival going on.
