A day of travel, arrival, settling in

Evening flight from Dulles to Paris--then a morning flight from Paris to Aberdeen--and I AM HERE!  
Thanks to John, Marguerite's husband for the pick up, delivery to Oldmeldrum (my new home town), over view of the house, car pick up, and super market run!  Whew.  

I arrived a bit tired as my flight was spent with a really sweet, four-year-old boy who insisted on touching me and kicking me.  It was not as bad as it sounds; he was not malicious, just sort of snuggly.  Hard to be upset about a cutie leaning over my arm rest to watch the movie I was watching.  So, my choice was very "G" rated--I watched Pirates, the Aardman claymation movie with my little pal.  Needless to say, I got only a little sleep.  HE dropped into an impossibly deep sleep the moment we started our descent.  Ironic timing, to say the least!

I was impressed with the Tesco super market.  Interestingly, much of the produce is individually wrapped in plastic.  I picked up a bit to tide me over for the next couple of days.  I hope my car insurance is sorted out by shortly so I can drive for more provisions.

I took a bit of a walk and did not get lost, so I count that a win.  Maybe tomorrow I will take the 3:00p.m. tour of Glen Garioch Distillery.  (afterall, I can't drive yet, so why not?)

I am off to unpack and maybe get some sleep.  Maybe.
