Day 2 - Crail and St. Andrews

Today, we picked up a rental car and went to Crail, where I met with my relatives. They were wonderful and took me around the cemetary so that I could pay my respects. But it was also so upsetting to see so many people that I knew buried together; some way too early. 

Even more upsetting is that my cousin informed me the Church of Scotland is selling the kirk... Yet another beautiful, historic edifice is being sold, rather than being maintained by those that are charged with caring for the welfare of the Scottish nation. I am disgusted. You cannot worship god and Mammon at the same time!

We then walked down to Crail Harbour Cafe where we had a wonderful lunch, with a great view out to May Island bird sanctury.

After Crail, we went to St. Andrews, where we booked into our hotel, then took the bus into town to do some shopping and get a meal... we ended up having a pizza:

After this, we got a taxi back to the hotel, where we had a good freshen up. Today isn't much of an update becuase a great deal of it was personal. 

Normal service will resume tomorrow, with the Wallace Monument and back to Edinburgh.
