Glamis Castle and Discovery Point Oct. 19

Off to Glamis Castle for a tour and then lunch.  By the way, it's pronounced GLAMZ.  This was the childhood home of the Queen Mother, Elizabeth.  She was one of 10 children and there were many photos of her about.  With blue eyes and dark eyebrows, she was very attractive.

No photos were allowed inside the castle, as it is still occupied by family members.  We had a nice docent-led tour, and ate a great lunch.  Their gift shop was wonderful and Bev and I both bought some jewelry pendants made from Scotch heather vines.

Our second tour of the day was at Discovery Point where we saw the ice-breaking ship of Antarctica.
We went aboard the ship and walked through the museum as well.  This was a very well-done exhibit.
Another lovely gift shop as well.

After we got back to the hotel, I retired with a book and Larry went to dinner at an Italian restaurant with a group.  My nose was dripping by then, so I thought it best to keep it to myself.
