This morning at breakfast there were four couples. Along with us, there was a couple was from Spain, two men from England who have been hiking lots of miles around here, and a new retired couple from Florida. They're very chatty so breakfast conversation flowed nicely. In the conversation, they threw out words like 'ancestors' so I knew I had a kindred spirit! She's very excited with her new found hobby so we'll be in touch when we both return home.
The weather looks like it has a few breaks in the clouds today. The temperature starts out in the 50's which is good for Ed so off he goes for a hike. I am in the guest lounge writing the blog and doing genealogy.
I'm the only guest left in the house today. A few hours in, it appears the owners are having some personal family issues. Their teenage daughter apparently has some challenges and
is yelling and crying about John (her step dad) not being her father. Moira (her mom) is very calm but everyone else is yelling and cursing. F***k doesn't sound quite so bad to me with a heavy Scottish brogue.
I stayed very quiet just hoping they wouldn't realize that I was in the house. I'm afraid they would be a little embarrassed.
It calmed down after awhile so all is well. Ed arrived back in one piece. He met another hiking buddy and had some good stories to tell.
After showering, we headed out to the Pub at the Glen Hotel. The bartender is really nice and told us all about how he and his wife came to own the pub. He's the perfect personality to create a comfortable local place to meet, eat and drink!
A good day!
