We have made it to the end of the earth. Or so it seems. Our travels took us from New York to Dublin, then Dublin to Glasgow, where we stayed overnight at the University of Glasgow so we could make our connections the following (Saturday) morning. Bright and early Saturday, we took the train from Glasgow to Oban, a ferry from Oban to Mull, a bus across the island of Mull, and finally the ferry to Iona. Saturday's travels alone took over six hours, but now we are here. The weather started cloudy and damp but today is glorious sunshine, perfect for puffin watching, which is this afternoon's activity. I hope it stays like this through tomorrow, when me make our pilgrimage around the island...
