Today is Caroline's birthday. She and her older sister are going to London with her parents to see the musical Mary Poppins in honor of the big day. They are taking the train in and making a day of it. It sounds like so much fun!
Tomorrow I leave for Scotland! I am going to see Rebecca Hamilton, a friend who is going to school in Glasgow. I hear such contradicting reports of Glasgow that I don't know what to expect. The Hamiltons tell me that it is the center of the known world, that Glaswegians (if that's how you spell what it sounds like their saying...) are the salt of the earth, etc. Then there are other people that gasp and stare when they hear I would consider going there. I am intrigued. I've wanted to go to Scotland ever since I can remember and am thrilled to get to go (for the accents alone if nothing else)!
