We had a wonderful afternoon today!  We took a 45-minute boat ride to an island named Staffa.  It is the location of Fingal's Cave, which inspired Felix Mendelssohn's symphonic overture Hebrides.  The sound of the surf from inside the cave is remarkable.








On the way we were treated to seeing some seals having fun sunbathing and showing off for us!










But the best part was getting to see hundreds of puffins.  They are absolutely amazing.  What fabulous creatures God has created!
