In a Mcdonald's in inverness
About an hour to teatime (dinner here but takes many hours, we eat slowly and there is the art of convo).
Scotland is beautiful! My sister and I have spent the afternoon in Inverness while alf and Helen prepare for teatime (it's gointo be big, there kids and grandchildren are going to be there. Lots of Whiskey!) we went to Claudine, a battle site, alf and Helen are like isabels, extremely knowledgeable about scotland and mackintosh clan stuff (lots of maps and tartens) they are also very proud of their culture and clan. They are also a very happy couple who do everthintogether like cook and go to the baths (pool) and sit in the sunroom and talk about the birds that are outside their window. The Mackintosh seem to function well and happily.
Traveling was pretty good, had little poop breakdown at gatwick but I rallied. That airport is so hi tech and the nicest public restrooms, you get ur own room and sink! Part of my breakdown was I drank a bottle of water from the tap and then I read don't drink tap water! I was like ahh!!! I ran around asking Brits about their water supply lol
mackintosh is everywhere and so it Stuart! Feel so Scotish!
More to say but on sisters iPad and kind of difficult to type on and it's only be a day (cant believe that!)
Miss you guys! Keep writing on the blog!
Off To the first course (beer and cheese cracker),

Sounds like an awesome time! Very cultural! (Besides the random comments about poop. I don't know why you keep including those...)
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd be in a McDonald's! Are there culturally relevant additions to the menu? I'm glad it sounds like you're having a lovely time after all your pre-and-mid-travel anxiety. I would tell you to drink carefully but a. you're in the U.K. they're special and b. I have bad-girl stories that disqualify me from being any sort of moral compass ever.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your pooping, be safe and have some fiber! Can't think of anything to add except that Scotland seems like a great mix of history and cultural and clean socially democratic transportation. Have fun!
