Thursday, Lewis...more

It was raining this morning--not a misty rain--raining. We headed south again to the Isle of Lewis and stopped first at a museum on the Harris Tweed industry and then to a sweet little museum on local history. 

(The deer is made entirely out of Harris tweed.)

Along the way we saw many seals lying about and swimming around the small off-shore islands. The rain abated and we went to the church at Rodel, the very southern tip of the island.

Finally it cleared and we walked to the beach! Rick pulled out his trusty kite and made everyone smile.

And speaking about beaches ... the Outer Hebrides have miles and miles of stretches of beautiful sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Unfortunately for us it was cloudy and rainy.

It was then back to the Inn for our final night together. After a great dinner we all settled into the lounge for some wonderful Scottish whisky.
