Ahhh, some beautiful rest and relaxation. Today we went to the coast and visited the quaint city of Ayr. (pronounced Air) We went to the Irish Sea, some got their feet went, others walked on the sand. After that we went and explored the city. A large portion of the group had lunch in an old church. It is actually a sad process that has been taking place in Scotland. Many churches have failed and have sold their buildings. These beautiful churches, hand built centuries ago with Stain Glass and Steeples are being converted into housing districts, restaurants, and bars. So as we walked into the building, everything liked so similar to one of the churches we worked with earlier, but there were tables everywhere. Jim actually took a photo of me standing at the pulpit, many wont even notice that surrounding that pulpit was 100 people eating their burger and fries.
After lunch we split into smaller groups and explored the city. Some people hopped in a taxi and visited a local castle. My group just walked the streets exploring for any hidden treasures. We had quite a lovely dinner with the best chocolate fudge cake I have ever consumed, and here we are now back at the hotel. Tomorrow is also a free day in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, and I am quite excited.
