Waiting to get there and a meal!

These pictures are out of order but I missed them yesterday. This is how we spend our "down time" in airports. The statue that Charles is leaning on at the cliff's edge is of an extinct bird. Our guide called it by name but I have no idea what he said. All we got was, they no longer exist. Now, they have the Puffin as their National bird. However, they do not hold them in as high regard as let's say Americans do the Bald Eagle. Why? Because they eat them! Puffin is on many a menu and they say they are just wonderful! If you do not know what a Puffin looks like, Google it. They are smallish chubby mostly black and white birds with bright orange and yellow beaks. They have really big almost painted on black sad clown eyes. Adorable.
