St. Andrews/Whitefield Reunion

After our free Tesco holiday in North Berwick, Nathan and I drove around the Firth of Forth and paid a visit to our friends the Shivelys. On the other side of the pond Todd and I taught English together at Whitefield Academy in Atlanta. The kids would always ask him what his first name was (S. Todd Shively) and he would reply "Sir." I don't know why but I think that's really funny.

Whitefield reunion in the UK! The only one missing was our dear Alicia Stark (former Whitefield drama teacher) down in Wales (busy getting her PhD).

Todd and his dog Wyn were great tour guides.

Here are some pictures of the remains of a cathedral...

and some very cold people.

Here we are in a quad of a college. I pictured Prince William and Kate picnicking on the grass in their university days. :)

More beautiful architecture

Nathan was very cold so he borrowed my hat. And he's standing next to a sign that talks about the first Scottish Reformation martyr, Patrick Hamilton. Hence the grim face.

Here is this stone brand where the poor guy was burned at the stake. This was the only picture Nathan requested I take. Graveyards and libraries and martyrdom spots. He is a strange one.

Next up, the famed Old Course with the whole Shively gang, a golfer's dream come true, and the real Chariots of Fire beach.
