May 10, 2025 A Hike in Garshellach Forest, Mass at St. Mary's, and an Italian Dinner at Mamma Mia!
Today was a quieter day and in true Morgan vacationing style, we rambled around a forest and made our own fun. Again, the weather was absolutely beautiful! I don't know where Scotland gets the reputation of being gloomy and rainy!? 😁 In the afternoon, we walked up the hill to St. Mary's for the Saturday night Mass because tomorrow's outing is a big one! Stayed tuned! After Mass, we tried out an Italian restaurant called Mamma Mia and since we have a month of Italy under our belts, we felt qualified to put it to the test. It passed! The host/server was a true Italian and spoke it fluently. We were scrambling to dust off the little Italian we had picked up in March and re-use it. Unfortunately, there was no gelato to order and that is our best Italian!

| At the start of the day, Aaron shaved. And since he had gotten quite shaggy, we persuaded him to do it outside! |

 |
| Flower petals are natures confetti and way better than glitter! |
 |
| Everywhere looks like a Bob Ross painting. |
 |
| I think I mis-identified this yellow flower as a broom plant. It is a Grose bush with spiky parts among the flowers. |
