The HIGHlands

Hi Everyone! A quick note before I have to dash onto the bus to go see more of the Isle of Skye! Orientation was great, meeting other Americans and getting prepared to settle in and start class. But for the last 3 days I've been doing a backpacking tour of the highlands and its FANTASTIC! Briefly, I've:
-picked fresh blackberries
-eaten haggis (yum!), neeps, and taties
-heard bagpipes while walking the hills
-seen amaaaaaaaaaazing views
-bought super awesome wellies (with wellie warmers) and gone mucking
-scampered through the heather
-seen more castles than you can shake a stick at
-learned a shitload of scottish slang

...and a bunch of other stuff. pictures and more later!!

cheers!
