On the Right ----> is some of the Baker ladies with me and Aaron, the wind was outrageous!!
<-----On the left is Aaron and I somewhere near the same place, the sheer size of everything was unreal.
Finally, the good part. I came to England to do a couple main things. I came to see some Greek and Roman history, I came to see the cultures of the European world as we know it, and also, to see the green and awesome landscapes of Scotland and Ireland. The Tour started at 8am Saturday morning and planned to have us back by 7:30 that night. Our tour guide was a well educated Scot who had flown in the Scottish air force as well as toured Europe and climbed many a mountains. He knew everything, or so it seemed. He told us the tales of William Wallace and we got to see the castle and the battlegrounds of some of the places where William Wallace actually was!!!! We all took turns taking pictures and listening to the stories while some slept and some ate what food they brought (me). **Orange Fanta takes like orange juice, but worse over here, by the way. We would stop every 30-45 minutes or so and get out to take pictures of the amazing landscapes. We learned all about the clans of Scotland and some brutal stories to go with them. We had a couple of long stops on the way to eat lunch and such, but we finally made it to Loch Ness, the largest freshwater body of water in the entire UK! We took pictures, trying to spot Nessie so we could collect our 1,000,000 pound paycheck so we all wouldn't have to keep asking money from the generous folks back home, but no such luck. I made a wish into Loch Ness, have you? The trip back seemed shorter but it was still awesome!
The Scottish Highlands are number 1 on my experiences here. The world famous Cadbury world was next...
