SCOTLAND!

Where only the real men wear skirts! Guess how we got here? You're right, a Ferry. I slept on the floor until we got there.

Once we arrived, we went to the lake where the Loch Ness Monster lives! We even went hunting for it, I mean we just rode around in a boat, but it was fun! I honestly wish we did find it! There was this cool castle on the shore of the lake, and the water was pitch black. Probably why it was so hard to spot the Loch Ness Monster. The reason the water was black though, was because there was a bunch of Peat particles floating around in the water, from the murky depths of the bottom of the Loch.

You know me and my need to climb things! This time I had a friend to do it with!

We caught Nessie! I also bought a condom that says so! (I have since lost said condom. I also didn't know what a condom was when I bought it)

Now we are just having fun being back on land! (Cecelia thought this guy was cute and wanted a photo of herself with him in the background, classic Cecelia move.)

Today, we went to Edinburgh Castle for a tour. There were cannons, giant rocks, and little holes in the walls to pretend to shoot people with bows and arrows. I had fun, and if you're a big kid, you would too.

Climbing buddies, but only for the best photos in town.

I don't remember what I was holding, but I can assure you it wasn't alcohol. I was 16 here.

ALSO THAT'S MAYGAN! (in the purple) My other travel buddy!

I've always been a rebel.

Man were we having fun.

Oh no.

We bought matching temporary tattoos, and we're still just as cool as we were then.

Today, we took a tour of Blair Castle. We rode the entire land of the farm, all on the back of a tractor. They had so many farm animals I didn't know of!

Name this animal!:

P.S. I pet a big ass cow!

Today is our last day in Europe in general. After this day, I go back to America.UGH.

We traveled to St. Andrews, where we rode to our final resting place, of a famous golf course of some kind....(I hate my memory)

We obviously played some golf, however, that was it. That was the highlight of the last day, playing golf.

HOWEVER, I did see a friend of mine since childhood in Scotland. Her name is Tori, and I could not believe my eyes when I saw here! She and I lived in VA for a bit throughout our childhood, down the street from one another. I bet she still lives there!

Well, that's it for Scotland. I really hope I can spend more time here one day. See you back in the states!
