Day 8: Our last day in Scotland



Our last day in Scotland was pretty low key. Alicia and Caitlin were back in the US, and Carter had left really early that morning. Things were beginning to quiet down (and I think a sadness hit each of us as it hit us that this was our last day).

That morning, we helped Sarah distribute some additional flyers around the community. Afterwards, Sarah gave us an extended tour of Aberdeen as we went to grab a quick lunch. During the tour, I think one of my favorite stories was when Sarah took us by an area that has lots of pubs and she showed us a pub where Radiate held events prior to them partnering up with Starbucks. As we walked by, she started naming the names of a few people we'd gotten to know during that week that are currently involved with Radiate, that gave their lives to Christ as a result of the events that had been held there.

After lunch we met up with Jo, Linda, and Michael at Starbucks for some delicious cups of coffee. I'm pretty sure this was the day when the Starbucks had a shortage of the medium (grande) coffee mugs for in-store orders, so they just upgraded whoever ordered a medium to a large (venti). Christie got a mug that was about the size of her head!

After coffee, we got to go out shopping for a little bit during the afternoon.

That evening, we went over to Martha & Jenn's apartment and got to try this pizza called the gatecrasher. It's called the gatecrasher because it is so HUGE! Anyway, we stuffed our faces, and had a great time with our friends before having to say our goodbyes. I won't go into detail there, because saying goodbye once was hard enough, and having to narrate it would just be too sad. However, we've all gotten to stay in touch thanks to Facebook!

Well, I believe this is the end of the blogs, at least for now. I'll be adding pictures to the blog posts as soon as I have time, so check back in a few weeks!
