alba!

so here we are in scotland!
what a big surprise, it rains a lot here!!!
the house we are staying in is great, and there is even a beautiful cat named ginny. she clearly thinks she is empress...well i guess such is the nature of the beast...
the train ride up was uneventful. we went threw a number of cities which i know of only from the map, but which seemed larger than i would have imagined. the last hour of the train ride was magnificent with the view of the coast.....
we we had time to take in a few sites: the national gallery and the castle among others, i hadnt been to the castle in at least 6 years....too long no doubt.
we then found a great restaurant with (of course) haggis! what else could one ask for?
