Firth of Forth.
After a 4 1/2 hour scenic train up the coast of England and Scotland...we have officially arrived in Edinburgh to begin our journey as Forth Circuit Mission. Our "Scottish boss" or mission mentor, Andrew, waited our arrival at the station. It was so kind of him to pick us up with our 17 suitcases, thank you, Andrew! Following, we went to our host home and met our sweet house mum, Barbara. First thing on the list was to take a walk and see some of the town. However, this walk just might have trumped any other walk I have ever been on with the extraordinary views overlooking all of Edinburgh (picture at left). At the top we took in the beauty along with hearing some of Barbara's great geographic, historic, and personal stories of the city. We returned to share all of our own stories and get to know each other over a home-cooked meal on our first night. Tomorrow begins our mission voyage here, I excitedly await what is around every corner....'til then, blessings and cheers.
