Week 2!






I'm now on my second week here in the Scot-world!

I'm really enjoying myself and getting to see a lot. Adjusting was very easy, and now I can get around fairly easily.

On Monday we went off on a 4 hour train ride to experience Inverness, the metropolis of the Highlands...(if there is such a thing!) The train ride was very nice, getting to see large mountains covered in sheep and Highland Coos (Cow!). The mountains were in full bloom with heather which would have made for some excellent photographs...I'm definitly going back.

Now I am planning my long term documentary and just can't decide on what doing. It's going to take some time, but I should be okay. I want to incorporate traveling the country as part of it, which should be the easy part. There are just too many places to see and too little time. I do know that I want to make my way over the Isle of Skye so hopefully that will be do-able.

Tomorrow is Dunbar once again for an assigment. It's our first of this kind, so we are a little shaky....I do know that I will be able to go back to the bakery and tea shop!!! YAY!!!

Tomorrow night I should be in Aberdeen, if I get the trains sorted well enough. I will be there most of the weekend and hopefully to St. Andrews on Sunday. No golfing though on Sundays!

The pics are mainly from Edinburgh...check out Borat! That was a gentlemen who was part of a "Stag" party...which is the Scottish Bachelor party...That is tame compared to the "Hen" parties I've seen!

Jerry will be happy to see another pic of food...Val will be happy you saw sheep...Ant will be happy you saw Borat...I'm happy you saw bagpipes...don't forget my destinaton picture to add to my pre-famous collection. When I look at your pictures I think of Psalms 118:24...This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. See you soon...
