a day in edinburgh

it was pouring down rain on thurs.  eric and i had wanted to go to st. andrews...but since it was raining alot.....some trains were delayed.  we couldnt get to st. andrews...so we went into edinburgh instead.  i had to take my rainbow sandals off and walk around barefoot b/c my feet were soaked.

hen/stag party

for ruth's hen party we went to the scotsman hotel in downtown edinburgh.  we had an amazing steak dinner and wine.  followed by a great slideshow and trivia game.  we also went out on the town and danced for a little bit.

bus tour in scotland

me, my mom, cousin karen and eric went on a 12 hr bus tour all over scotland.  we pretty much covered most of the country.  we got off the bus pretty often.  our guide has some amazing stories to tell us.  it was a LONG day...but worth it.

this is hamish...the highland cow....or as i call him...the emo cow.

eric and i at glencoe.  a famous battle site between two clans.

we took a one hour cruise on loch ness...looking for nessy.  no luck!  well...a 4 yr old told me he saw her and that she was purple and a very fast swimmer.  so, maybe nessy was there.
