Day Six
We got to sleep in until 10AM this morning, had an amazing lunch in the Jazz Club here at Hospitalfield, and were off for the day. The entire MSUM and Illinois crew headed to the Cortachy Castle which was the most beautiful Castle that I have seen so far. It's only open for visitors one day a year so we were really lucky to have been able to attend such an amazing thing. There were hundreds of acres of gardens and ponds that spread throughout the entire place. We were serenaded by bagpipes and greeted by royalty. One of my favorite things about Scotland is none of the trees and plant life are anything similar to what we see in America. The colors are far more vibrant the the plants are extremely diverse. The rain slowly came in so we had to put our cameras away and head home.
Supper tonight was porkchop, tatties(potatoes), and grilled vegetable; Desert was a lemon tart with blueberry ice cream. Rod, our cook has been making us some of the most amazing food!
The rain has kept us all inside so we pulled out music and cards and have just been hanging out which is so much fun for a change! Goodnight, I love you all!
