Scotland – Day whatever day this is

Today was a bit of a ‘day-off’ as I like to think about it. Woke up pretty late and decided that I didn’t want to sit through talks that I didn’t want to listen to.

So, Jeremie and I headed to the Scotland Museum. The museum is in a pretty cool round brick buildling … the one below.

Inside the Museum must be the most confusing museum I’m ever been in. You start with the whole making of Scotland (for your Geology dorks). Then move to different times in Scotland. I went in thinking it’d be very William Wallace emphasized. Very narrow thinking I know but he was the one who ‘freed’ Scotland. Well, that was WRONG (notice the capital letters). It was a tiny little booth and we missed it when we went through it. Anyway, they did have a fun little catapult game. Myself and the swiss guy played with it for a while… I’m still trying to figure out why the Swiss are attacking Canada. Aren’t they suppose to be Neutral?

Then on the main level (which they call 0 here. So 1 is actually the first floor up… confusing for us North Americans) they had a games room place. They had an F1 race game simulator which apparently is super close to actually driving an F1 car. Very neat… but HARD. I was terrible at it. Jeremie set one of the best times for the day!

Then I went shopping because my shoes that I brought here actually have a hole that goes right through the bottom of the shoe. So I bought myself some shoes, which are REALLY cheap… if you don’t convert to Canadian dollars.

Oh and the final picture is Jeremie and I celebrating last night. This is in the Blue Blazer pub that is right across the street from our hotel. They don’t serve any food… just alcohol. Which is very foreign to us Canadian’s.
