Scotland so far...

The highlights so far include; nearly being turned back to the States at customs for lack of proof of what my plans were, lesson learned always have something to show, after a good twenty minutes of negotiations I was allowed to enter the UK. Too tired to get at all worked up seemed to work out well as I dont think the guy was joking about sending me back.

Can't say London was much of a highlight, but enjoyed waking up on the bus ride north ( a 12 hour journey) to fresh snow and sunshine over the countryside.

Forres has been a good place to walk out and around and see the sights, the countryside, the buildings, etc. Weathers been mostly dry at least, might need a vacation at the end of this one to warm back up though =].

Enjoyed a good night out at the Red Lion aka The Red Beastie, met a couple locals, closed the place out only to walk home and be locked out. The door is normally locked, but my key normally works. A little strange but one ring of the door bell and the host appeared with a "so sorry, didn't realize you'd been out" so that all ended well.

Looking forward to starting on with the Findhorn Foundation at least for more of a regular diet and having something more to do than wandering about watching the pounds slip through my fingers (not the weight watchers type either).

All is well, I'll stay in touch when I can, a few shots from the journey so far...
