Continuing with the trip:Day four of the bus tour started with a trip to one of the oldest and most famous golf courses in the world –St. Andrews.  Lots o’ big wigs go there:

 

 

None of the golfers were impressed when I started yelling “Swing, batter, batter, swing!”

Jan and I went into one of the nearby shops to try and find a shirt for Chuckles.  I was thrilled to see there was a man in the store that was Jan’s size:

We also walked down to the water and I took a pic of the birds sitting out on a little island:

We were actually quite happy to get back on the bus, as it was REALLY windy that day.  It was a typical overcast day, but I don’t think it rained.

I’m pretty sure I was the only person on the bus that got excited when I saw this plane fly by:

However, I do think everyone on the bus was as happy as I was to view the beautiful buildings we passed:

Our next stop was in Pitlochry – and look, a sale!

I really like the name of this establishment:

Jan and I really enjoyed wandering around the shops in this town.  We went into a store called the Sheep Shop, and I couldn’t believe what I found in the back – airplane socks!  I’ve been looking for airplane socks for over four years!  None of the socks I wear are plain – they all have something silly on them.  I found some really cute sheep ones too:

The store owner said he got the airplane ones so the wife who bought the sheep socks could get them for her husband.  Well, I guess I destroyed that theory!

After leaving Pitlochry, we headed over to Blair Castle.

No, the castle isn’t on an angle – blame the photographer.
There were some cute little peacocks roaming around:

I managed to get Jan to pose with one:

There was also this cute little dude, digging a hole:

Unfortunately, no photographs in the castle except for the ball room at the end of the tour:

This stream was on the castle grounds:

Our next stop was at the hotel.  This is one of the few times Jan and I went to dinner with the group.  That will be for my next blog!

Today’s symptoms:  I was really weak today, I think it’s due to having this sinus thing for two weeks now.  My doc put me on antibiotics yesterday, so hopefully that will kick in soon.  I was so weak and tired in the afternoon, I had to leave work a little early.
