In the morning I set off for the Lake District to meet up with Vangie. Their working on the railroad so part of the trip is by bus. A rail bus. It should be interesting. The buildings are fantastic. Almost everything is built in stone. The really old buildings are highlighted in black, unless they have been cleaned. Holyrood Castle is great, especially the abby ruins that are attached to it. Lots of pictures there. They should be done being developed this morning very excited to see how they turned out. Love you all, TTFN BJ

David could you please check on my Visya card. The phone number is on the back of the card. It didn't go throught today. Make sure that security isn't blocking the card. Also you may want to remind them that the card will be used in canada at the same time it might be used in the United Kingdom. Having a very wonderful time and seeing alot. It rained today, this is the first rain that I had since I came. There a lots of wonderful buildings around. The museum had things from the Roman times. Soooo cool. I'm learning the bus system a bit and I'm starting to think with an accent. I have to watch myself that I don't try to talk with the accent because someone might think that I'm making fun of them. When you hear is so much you sort of start thinking with it. (David I will stay one more night in Edinburgh before I fly out. Tell the card company that. I have to come back on Friday because of the railroad work being done. Some delays, and I don't want to miss my flight to Canada.) Lots of big loves to everyone and big kisses to all my grand kids.

I am in Edinburgh and doing fine. It's only cold when the wind blows which is most of the time. The sun will be shinning a bit. It is hard to get to a computer so you may not hear from me a lot. Give everyone my love. Saw the castle and lots of churches. The houses are all smushed together here, sort of like San Francisco. Moss is growing all over the old headstones in the cemeteries. David I wish you were here you are so fun to travel with. Give all the grandkids hugs and kisses. Love BJ

Been at Vangies and getting ready to go to Scotland. All is well hope to post soon. TTFN BJ

To all who watch my postings, this is to let you know that I am going on vast vacation. AHHHHHH! I am so excited. Scotland, England and then Canada. I will post pictures when I can from computers where ever I can find them. I will also give a bit of travel stuff because my family will be checking the site to make sure I'm alive and well. This is going to be great. TTFN BJ

Honey Look We Have a New Door

Like a ship in the ocean the wall jets into the air. TTFN BJ

Corner Door

I guess the choice between the left wall or the right wall was to big of a decision . TTFN BJ

Window on the Canyon Wall

Through the window is the front of the canyon wall. TTFN BJ

Light into Darkness

This is really cool because you can see both stories of the building with the difference between the light and dark.

The Wall That Isn't

This is about texture. The different lines in the stone work and the logs. TTNF BJ

Window, Door, Wall

Looking to the upper stories on the high rise of long ago. TTFN BJ

Walls by the Canyon

They built right in front of a canyon wall. Now some of the wall is cracking off. It has to be propped up. TTFN BJ

Window to the Past

The details that there are in the ruins are of endless fascination. TTFN BJ

Window on the World

The top of other ruins through the window. TTFN BJ

Your Turn to Fix the Leaky Roof

Lots of walls not many roofs. TTFN BJ

Wall Window

This is Chaco Canyon ruins. It is a fabulous place. If you get a chance to go there don't pass it up. TTFN BJ

Split

With cold and heat the desert can crack rocks. TTFN BJ

Shadow and Snow

A study in lines. TTFN BJ

Reaching For the Sky

Still reaching for the light even when dead. TTFN BJ
