Wednesday morning we work up with the sun. We followed a trail to gaze at the majestic waterfall on the Clyde River in the back of the hostel; there our adventerous spirits were awakened. After a delicious breakfast (made by our faithful gracious host Mister Scott) we boarded the bus (driven by our awesome driver Mister Alex) and headed to Edinburgh. Our tour guide Mister Jimmy showed us the place where many faithful Christians died as marty's for crimes such as having Bibles and denying the King as the head of the Church. We saw the graveyard where about 1,000 Christians became prisoners and suffered for their faith. We saw torture devices used on Christians to extract info about other Christians. The point is we learned something very valuable today. We learned that we are very privileged to be able to openly profess our faith throughout our everyday journeys. If you remember anything from this blog, remember that.
Now for the more lighthearted leg of today's journey.
WE SHOPPED TILL WE DROPPED! (Literally. Scotland is uphill and downhill. The stairs and mountians are no joke). It was interesting to visit the quaint Scottish shops and see how different they are than our own.
To end this looong blog we have three very important things to tell you.
1. The people here are so kind and willing to help. When shopping in the many shops, we met many amazing people. They are so quick to help and always willing to have a good conversation.
2. Today, we sadly said goodbye to our kindhearted, jovial, very patient bus driver. We cannot thank him enough for driving us on numerous adventures.
3. Lastly if you are ever in Scotland, make sure to visit the Edinburgh Castle. The fabulous crown jewels will also inspire any girl to believe she can be a queen.
Thanks for reading,
