Weekend adventures

My French friends, Marjorie and Aurore, made dinner crepes and dessert crepes on Friday night. They were so good!

Here's a photo of them cutting up (really strong) onions for a Swiss dish they made together last week. They look pretty happy here, but they were actually crying for the next hour or so, haha.

Some cheese Marjo's parents brought her from Dijon, France. We had it melted over potatoes!

On Saturday, the Wilsons took me on a daytrip to the Birks of Aberfeldy, which is a circular hike that lies on the outskirts of the town of Aberfeldy. "Birks" means birch trees in old Scottish.

This area inspired the poet Robert Burns to write his famous "The Birks of Aberfeldy" in 1787.


"The braes ascend like lofty wa's,
The foaming stream deep-roarin' fa's
O'erhung wi' fragrant spreading shaws
The birks of Aberfeldy."

The Falls of Moness

Here are Ian and Jean Wilson! Their daughter is a friend of the family through church.

Overlooking the Scottish countryside


We visited Castle Menzies, and I took this photo through a lookout hole in the castle wall.

More beautiful countryside



This post was heavy on the pictures. I love you all!
