Today started off early... very very very very very early. Kylee and Michelle were headed to Liverpool at ten in the morning so our day started at 6:45 am in hopes that they would be able to see as much of Scotland as they could before they left. That's extremely early for a free day, especially because those are supposed to be our days of rest! But whatever. Anyway, Kylee and Michelle wanted to see the coast before they left. We spent forever figuring out if that was even possible. We found a bus that would get us to some water. We asked the bus driver when we got off if he could point us in the right direction of some water. Ha when we asked for the coast he just started laughing at us and was like, "if what you mean by coast you mean a dock?". And so we walked to the dock... at 7 in the morning. It was really pretty though. The water was beautiful and there was a light house off in the distance. The only thing missing was the sand. Bummer... We did get to see the royal yacht Brittania. Well the place where it's stored, but still pretty cool! Ha ha.
We left the coast at about nine and headed up to do some touristy shopping. Kylee and I walked into a scottish shop and they were playing some sweet bagpipe music. We stopped in our tracks and asked the owner immediately where we could buy the cd. It was the Red Hot Chili Pipers. It is the raddist cd I have ever listened too. Eye of the Tiger .. Scottish style. We also bought some 100% wool scarves. They are so cute and really warm. Also traditional scottish patterns. They are very nice. The last thing I purchased for myself was the cutest little bag pipe man! He's a figuresque and is just so darling. He cost me way too much, but I just couldn't pass him up. He was worth every penny or pence whatever it is.
Kylee and Michelle left us at around 10 so Mallory, Beccah, Julia and I grabbed a bus and went to the LDS church. It was in the cutest little neighborhood and the mission home was right next to the church. It was a beautiful home. It was really cool to see. Church was so great! I felt stupid though because I forgot a dress and I had to wear jeans, but the people were all very welcoming and kind. Ha ha it was funny though the Bishop had to tell them all that they couldn't have any kind of physical contact at church because of the Swine Flu epidemic. They even started hitting elbows together to have some kind of contact, but the Bishop told them that that wasn't okay anymore. Ha ha it was super funny. It was fast and testimony meeting and it was so good. They all have the purest and sweetest testimonies and it is so refreshing to hear. I fell in love with the people right then and there.
