St. Andrews & a New Decade

Day 2 of the birthday weekend!  What better place to celebrate?  Today is a big number for Dick and he gets to select the day’s activities.  Just around the corner from the Yorkston is the St. Andrews Museum.  It’s free and has a nice summary history of the city.  The entire building is quite impressive…

Hey – it’s us!

As the two of us have travelled over the years we’ve tried to keep a blog going (mainly so we can remember what the heck we did!).  It’s been good fun and a great way to hold on to special memories.
