Well I'm finally here... just spent the weekend in London, which was great -- weather was amazing, went to tea at Fortnum and Mason, shopped at Camden Lock (bought lots of great stuff!) and went out to Zoo Bar where we got most of our drinks paid for by a guy named Morgan, then on Sunday went to V&A museum and then shopping on Oxford Street (bought a fab top at Top Shop! It's so London, I love it!)
Then on the way to Heathrow to make our flight here the tube got royally (ha) fucked and we came this close to missing our flight. But we didn't, and now we're here -- okay, maybe our stuff isn't here (both our backpacks are lost in the ether) but I have faith we'll see them again soon. I lost a filling on Friday night, have no clothes, and have been plagued with frequent stomachaches, and let me tell you -- I DON'T CARE, I am SOOO happy to be here in Scotland! I mean it, just being here I feel warm in every fiber of my being, I forgot just how amazingly wonderful this place is. The castle all lit up over our hostel, breathtaking, Caledonian ale, the MEN! (I've already kissed a Scotsman -- a silly story I'll share eventually -- Shosh and I also just spent an evening with a few drunken 40-somethings named Nigel and Jim (no that's not who I kissed) -- anyhoo, I'm so friggin happy, I want to move here. There's so much more I want to say but I'll wait till later!
later all,
MD
