Almost compulsively I have dreamed of that remote day when Columba and crew, in a primitive Irish boat, beached somewhere on the east side of the island. Why did he leave Ireland? Why Iona? Was anyone there? From that most obscure of places something very permanent arose. <br><br>Anyway, good for you for going.isaacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3520413.post-86308540295609236382007-06-05T02:21:26.000-06:002007-06-05T02:21:26.000-06:00Hey Randall, I've been reading your blog from ...Hey Randall, <br>I've been reading your blog from time to time (as well as Gateway's) and am so thrilled for you.. have a great trip.

I've not done that journey, but the one from Edinburgh is interesting in places. I'd still recommend flying, but on the other hand a long journey like that will give you time to reflect on leaving Iona. When you have an ETA/timetable let us know.<br><br>Looking forward to seeing you guys again.Tonihttp://tertl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
