So I had my first real scottish meal last night of haggis, carrots, and turnips. For those of you who don't know what haggis is it is basically sheeps intestines and other parts packed into a sheeps stomach and tied off. When we got it from the store it was precooked so it only took about 20min to cook. Suprisingly it was really good. It tasted a bit like spicy ground beef and I highly recommend it.
Edinburgh is a beautiful city with so much to see. We ended up walking down the royal mile yesterday which has the new scottish parliment buidling at the bottom and then goes uphll until you reach edinburgh castle which we plan on going into today. We havn't gone into any of the buildings yet or done any tours although we did walk right around the downtown core and saw Waverly Station where harry potter was filmed (it wasn't really filmed at kings cross in london).
We are leaving for a 9 day camping trip up to the orkney islands and back on saturday stopping off at the isle of skye, loch ness, glen coe, inverness, ben nevis, john ogroats, aberdeen. Should be a really fun trip altough there are 4 of us in a small 2 door hatchback honda civic.
Hope everyone is doing well and we will post pictures when we get the chance.

Hey guys!
Glad to see you've enabled non-Blogspot members to post comments. Sounds like you're having an amazing time in Europe so far! I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of your stories when you get to your next internet cafe. I just purchased a pro account a Flickr because they only allow free members a small amount of uploads, so if you're looking for a place to upload your photos then maybe I can just reserve a space for you on my FTP account.
Hope you had an awesome time in Scotland, see you soon!
