Marty and I are headed to London today from Waverly station to Kings Cross. For our last meal out we returned to the Grain Store and mom and dad Buckwalter treated us to one final delicious lunch at this excellent Scottish restaurant in Victoria St. We walked our favorite streets and said our private goodbyes to our secret corners of the city. Sadly, nobody seemed to care that we were leaving, except maybe the man who runs the internet café who will be loosing his steady revenue. It’s nice to know that we have helped pay for his villa in Italy.
Although we are very excited to be heading home, we are also sad to be leaving the foreign city that has been our dwelling place for the past 6 weeks. I'm a little worried that we might not make it with all the luggage - but we'll give it our best effort. We have been very fortunate (minus the ceiling incident) in having a safe, educational and fun time. It is hard to say what we will miss the most. Perhaps for Marty it will be the scotch or the great pubs showing Manchester United games. For me it might be the Scottish accent or the occasional old man strolling along in his kilt.
Scotland will always have a special place in our heart since it was where we got engaged. We have toured the Highlands and eaten Haggis, we’ve been to five castles and slept in one, and although we didn’t make it to all the sights we aspired to see we are satisfied and would be happy to return to the land of our pre-Honeymoon.
