Off To See the Monster

Hi All,

Well I'm done with continental Europe for now. Finished up in San Sebastian, Spain - which is a great little beach town (if you like that sort of thing). Very picturesque and I got some great pictures. There's this big statue of Jesus there which is high on a hill. Sort of like the one in Rio but a much smaller hill. Anyway, I climbed up there to hang out with JC and get some good pics when I noticed that, if you look at JC from the right angle, he appears to be giving everyone the finger. So you'll see a bunch of JC pics when I get them uploaded because I liked the irony of JC flipping off the world (sort of sums up my whole view of religion).

Anyway, from Spain it was back in Paris for two nights and then I took the high speed train through the Chunnel to London this morning. It was pretty cool (granted I slept most of the way). I don't know what it is, but the minute I'm in a moving vehicle that I am not driving, I fall instantly asleep. It's like a disease or something.

So the plan is to sleep in London tonight and then grab a coach to Edinburgh in the morning. Then do the Scotland thing and find me a Loch Ness Monster (and get Bobby a Hard Rock Edinburgh shot glass - this might be the easier adventure). I'm going to check out Edinburgh and use it as a base for day trips to the highlands and the lakes. A bed in Scotland was crazy cheap - just £8 a night (which is about USD 16). Can't beat that - by far the cheapest place I've stayed. And from what I've heard it's actually pretty nice.

So that's it for now. I'll post more from Scotland.
