Aye lad, AYE.

Top o' the morning...(that's irish, I think). It's 11:43 and Sally and I are blogging it up at the local internet cafe. Yesterday was fabulous. We woke up at 7 am and walked over to Old Town where we met up with "Wild and Sexy Haggis Adventures"

, our tour group for the highlands. It was the most beautiful day for a trip up to the mountains. Our first stop was Dunkeld, a small town about 40 minutes from Edinburgh (slightly famous for being the town that Beatrix Potter visited and her inspiration for her books). There was a pond and a chapel and some nice flowers. We stayed for a bit then drove to Fort Augustus, where we ate lunch and had a boat tour of the LOCH ness monster. I found it! :




Hahaha....after the boat tour we got back on the bus and drove to Glencoe....it was unreal and breathtaking. The pictures I took couldn't even capture the beauty or how I felt when I was there. Glencoe is gorgeous....Next we kind of drove by the Stirling Castle, and went on home. Our tour guide Carol was amazing, and we learned that she had just started her job. The historical stories we heard were so enchanting and mystical. Cheesy, but true.

Last night Sally and I had our first night-life experience in Edinburgh. oh my my. We stayed up until the sun rose, it was beautiful and fun and the crazy characters we encountered were fun. We went to a dance club/bar called Espionage...it was intense. There were many bachelor/bachelorette parties going on, and great dancing and drinks.

Today we are relaxing, possibly watching "Braveheart" and getting some groceries. Looking FORWARD to my 45 hour work week. :) :) :)

Hope there is sun in California!

Thank goodness you found the Loch Ness Monster! They have been searching for years for that thing.

The Loch Ness monster looks like it's in the Russian River. Nice to know its migration path.

Was at callbacks with M Rhone and A Weisberg last night for Will ...
