212 ECCENTRIC ISLE OF EIGG

“If you're going to get sick, be sure it's on a
Wednesday,” my Isle of Eigg tour guide/driver
pointed out. “That's the day the doctor arrives
by ferry from Skye.”

216 A WHALE OF AN ENCOUNTER

At first, there were bubbles and a snort. We
whooped and laughed and screamed with de-
light as a gray whale longer than our 20-foot
panga came up alongside the Mexican out-
board fishing boat. The cetacean lifted a drip-
ping flipper out of the water as if in greeting.

220 DENVER’S UNION STATION

At its peak more than a century ago, 80 pas-
senger trains a day – from six different rail-
roads – rumbled through Denver’s Union
Station. In modern parlance, it was a hap-
penin’ place.
230 THE FINAL BATTLE

Global history made a stop here, leaving be-
hind a bucolic moor where the bodies of hun-
dreds today lie in peace after they engaged in
the last pitched battle fought on British soil.
