One of the bus tour highlights was stopping to walk around a small fishing village on the outskirts of Aberdeen. Each home was once owned by fishermen and their families. Now they look to be inhabited by artists and eclectics. See what you think...
I appreciate the fine examples of meerkat sculpture.
Afterward we were invited to a private screening of Disney/Pixar's Brave. We loved it and a few of us were fairly close to tears. Great movie about a mother-daughter relationship. It made me fairly homesick for little Helen.
Speaking of family, we learned today that our fearless Fulbright Commission leader, Eilish, has to unexpectedly leave our group and return to Ireland for a family emergency. We were all so heartbroken. She has been so amazing and a load of fun. Our Fulbright family has really appreciated all that she contributed to holding this program together. I can't imagine what it is like on the other side of the planning. Our thoughts are with her.
