We’ve been busy and have neglected our blog and I fear we’ll lose all our readers with our not-too-frequent posts on not-that-interesting things. We have two full days left of non-responsibility. We are both sad to leave California and happy to go back to our other home, Edinburgh. We have had a lot of fast food - Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, American, you name it. On the list for tomorrow are A’s fried zucchini for a snack, Ruby’s for lunch and dinner with B’s parents at Ichibiri (Japanese). On Tuesday, our food list will probably include something fattening as well as our mutual family dinner to a steak house. We’ve had more red meat than I think we’ve had the whole time we’ve been in Scotland. We bought about 20 bucks worth of American candy to take back with us. We’ve bought lots of clothes. We’ve been consumers who haven’t even questioned the ethics behind our purchases - we’ve slipped easily back into California lifestyle in some ways. We’ve attended different churches - our home PCA church in Pasadena (twice), our parents’ churches and a PCA congregation in Newport Beach with our folks. We’ve seen lots of our friends - they’re all beautiful and successful and happy, it seems. They all look so put together. (It’s interesting how with some friends you can jump right back into where you left off and with others, you can’t). We’ve travelled to all parts of Orange County, Pasadena and Santa Barbara. We’ve had lots of rain and lots of beautiful sunshine. Tomorrow we’re going to the beach! We’ll be back in Scotland on Thursday, so please call us those of you who live there and those of you who don’t please email! Posts of a more thoughtful subject will resume late this week. Until then, we remain your faithful travellers caught very much in the state of ‘inbetweenness’ in our transatlantic and spiritual lives, Bryce and Ash.
