Time for Goodbyes-Different Directions-Travis






It is time to say goodbye to Venice and to Travis, Carleigh and Brittany! They have one more night in Venice at the Crowne Plaza Hotel near the airport and Bud and I go to the Marco Polo Airport in Venice to pick up our rental car.

Travis will be flying to Edinburgh Scotland for two nights then take the train to London for three nights.


By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Me and my true love were ever wont to gae
On the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond

Chorus
Ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak the low road
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
But me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond

'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond
Where in the purple hue the hieland hills we view
And the moon coming out in the gloaming

The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again
And the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'


Glossary
bonnie: beautiful
braes: hills
gae: go
gloaming: twilight, dusk
greeting: weeping
Hieland: Highland
kens: knows
nae: no
waeful': woeful
wee: little

Have a BONNY time Travis!
