Scotland Part B

Hello all!!! I have just finished my Scotland vacation. I spent over a week up in the highland hiking on the less rainy days (or trail running) and sightseeing on the wet days. I came to the conclusion that if I see another castle I will run screaming.......All in all, the highlands were my favorite part of the trip; I met lots of people in the hostels (football season had just started back up and their were games to watch) and there were lots of things to do. I managed to stumble onto a local version of the highland games outside of fort William, and I got to see the caber toss, hammer throw and the hill run, among other activities. The triple jump, while already complicated, was even more difficult when preformed when wearing a kilt. The gentleman who won the hammer throw, had to put down his beer before every throw he made (While I was watching he had 3 beer???)

I've made it back to Leeds and am now working to settle in. Where is the grocery store, library, blockbuster.....etc. I'll probably be going into the school next week to start the planning process. It will be nice to be back to work!!!

Talk to you soon
