Rum raisin Ice cream is STRONG. This begins at the end of the day with supper. We continue to have 3 choices of “starter”, entrée, and “sweet”. The vegetable broth was thick, filling and very good tasting. The roasted chicken w/ gravy was just right with it’s roasted carrots and potatoes, but the rum raisin ice cream did not just have rum “flavoring”, it had real rum and not just a little.
We’re in Oban tonight, on the west coast of Scotland getting ready to “island hop” tomorrow. We’ll go to the Isle of Mull and the “mysterious” Isle of Iona. I have really been looking forward to tomorrow.
We cruised Loch Lomond (how is it spelled? – you know the song?) today and did lots of traveling on the bus.
After arriving in the 128 year old hotel, which told us free wireless internet was available.—we tried to get online to download the latest chapter in the Ireland/Scotland saga, but couldn’t. They gave us the password, we sat just feet from the server in the lobby, but it just wouldn’t talk to our little laptop. We were told about a pub down the street w/ free wireless internet and it worked just fine. We’ll be here another night, so we’ll probably do the same thing tomorrow.

Several in our group are interested in this site.
During our trip today we also traveled along Loch Awe (pronounced Aww!)
Last night we veered from Scotish food when we ate “supper” at our 10th Hard Rock Café spanning about 20+ years of traveling. We were craving salad and onion rings and that’s what we had, served by a neat Polish young lady, who tried to convince us that Pepsi was the same as Coke. She couldn’t understand how anyone could tell the difference. I said that this is our 10th Hard Rock Café---our others have been in Washington D.C., New York City, Boston, Las Vegas, San Antonio, San Francisco, CanCun, Mexico, London, Copenhagen and now Edinborough. What! No Hard Rock Café in Brownwood?
The Rum raisin ice cream is making me sleepy, so-------------
