BACK FROM EUROPE, BABY
Jul. 18th, 2010 11:49 amGreat, great, great, incredible, life-defining sort of vacation. I am truly blessed to be able to do things like this with my happy family.
Scotland Wrapup-
First week, we stayed in a castle. Yes, really. They rent them. They actually rent castles. It's called Saddell, and here is its wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddell_Castle. Sadly it had no internet, but who gives a flying cracker. It was a castle. I was staying in a castle. There were battlements. It was right on the World's Coldest Ocean, but there were ducks and birds and evil spiky plants and just the most wonderful, wonderful air of timelessness.
After that, we stayed (limited internet again) at a lovely little lodge on the River Ness, and went down to the loch and saw their castle and the museums, though no Nessie. I have crosstiched and plan to make bookmark gifts for various relatives. There were more ducks here, and birdnests.
I am still slightly jetlagged, but hopefully updates soon on comics, pets, and those essays I talked about, which are almost done and rambling but interesting.
