Scotland – Day whatever day this is + 1
So here I am last full day in Scotland. Kinda sad as I’ve had a really great time in this here neat city. Where to begin?
Oh! right. So the Blue Blazer (that pub that only serves alcohol) is ‘apparently’ a gay bar. Which there is nothing wrong with. However, Jeremie and I have been in there quite a bit this week and just found out when someone told us last night. AND… Apparently, the hotel that we’re staying at is in the Pubic Triangle. Because they’re are two strip bars and the Erogenous Zone all making a triangle. Funny stuff when you sidle up to some locals and start chatting with them. Here we are outside of the Blue Blazer!

Today, we headed to the Castle in this here Scotland city. Neat castle and quite amazing when you think what people could build 800-900 years ago. It’s pretty crazy and I really can’t comprehend how it was done.

The other neat thing in the castle was the Cannon’s. The one cannon was MASSIVE. Firing HUGE cannonballs. The cannonball’s apparently would fly 2 miles…. yikes!


Now to change the subject completely.
Driving on the right side of the left side of the road. Man, is that ever crazy to me. The first 2-3 days, I swear that I had about 5-10 heart arrythmia’s. The first one I was taking the bus from the airport to downtown. Sitting there looking out the window, watching scenery and cars. I look over to a car going around the same speed as the bus and the lady (in the left side of the car) had her hands in her lap. She she looks up at me and makes eye contact and my heart skipped a beat! I probably had this look of “What the F are you doing? Get your eyes and hands back on the wheel you’re going to kill us all!” Turns out she’s the passenger. The second big thing is when someone’s turning down a street and pull onto the left side of the road I always give one of those “are you a maniac” thoughts in my head. I don’t know if I could ever get use to that.

Anyway, in other news Jeremie and I have basically ran out of beers to try. Our goal was to try and not have the same beer twice while we were here. Last night we had to resort to having the same beer. So on that note tomorrow we’re off to another country; Switzerland to be exact. Should be pretty neat. Apparently at some mountain that Jeremie’s parents have a condo they got 50 cm of snow the other night…. On that note. The next blog will be from the land of Cheese, Chocolate and the alps!
ps. You can buy bread in the corner stores here! Bread! Buns! Yum! You all know that we love bread & buns.

Bread and buns? Oh Jeff, just you wait for Switzerland . . . well, bread anyway. I don’t remember as many buns. And I don’t know if I saw a single muffin – you should definitely teach those Swiss the way of the muffin.
And I hope you got out of Scotland without trying your new shoes for hacking. I can just see an out-of-control hack landing in front of some poor Scottish lady and you pointing and saying “Hack it!” Apparently, hackit is Scottish slang for ugly. A little late for the warning, I s’pose.
Jeff, I was in absolute stitches laughing about your trip from the airport to your hotel. I read it twice now and had tears running down my face just imagining what was going through your mind when you saw the women in the car next to you with her hands on her lap and making eye contact.
That hike you did on Arthurs Seat looked fabulous. I can hardly wait until the day comes that Bob and I are able to go to Scotland.
