We went into the town Parish just before their Sunday 17050627 May 21 Parish Churchservice so we were very quick. We stopped into the grocery and bought some toothpaste and hairspray.

Outside was a young teen playing the bagpipes. He belongs to the Sutherland Pipe Band and goes to school at the Sutherland school. As I looked at 17050675 May 21 Ancestors On The Wallpictures of the ancestors I checked them out to see if they looked like Gerry, my cousin. Well none did and isn’t that too bad. We were allowed to only take pictures on the main floor 17050676 May 21 Wall Picture Of Estatewhich is the foyer and gift room. I don’t really understand why they could of just said no flash. We did the tour with our guide and she explained a lot. You can book the diningroom and the library for weddings or office meetings. The staff gets to have their Christmas party in the diningroom. We then got to 17050680 May 21 Round Gardenwalk through the gardens and they were awesome. There were large leaf plants and lots of different shrubs and flowers. We watched them video a movie 17050685 May 21 What Large Leavesthey are making of a man riding a bike. We then headed back to the ship and they took a different route and we got to see some Seals laying on the sandbars as the tide was out. 17050686 May 21 Castle From Circle Garden

17050722 May 21 Having Drinks With Donna DaleWe met Donna and Dale in the Piazzia for drinks and then went to the Island Room for supper. We got a really nice wait staff and young guy from India and a funny cute girl from the Ukrane. Following dinner we headed to the theatre for comedy night with Scott Harris. He is a Canadian comic and he was so funny. His jokes were all based around our age and how we played outside and our parents weren’t concerned with us and let us do anything. How we were afraid of our parents where today's parents are afraid of their children. He was hilarious. We laughed so hard we decided we need a nightcap so the four us headed to the Explorer’s Lounge. Then a good night and back to our room. Another great day was had by the both of us.
