And by "bring on the snow" I am playfully referring to the fact that these darling two individuals appeared at Glasgow airport, and instantly the spring-like weather we had been experiencing became a torrent of icy sleet and wind and snow. That may not be exactly the truth, but it suits my purposes. Anyway I don't have a ton of time, so quick rundown.
Friday:
Picked up Ker and Ari at the airport (coffees in hand)
Dinner at La Tasca (gluten free tapas!)
Train to Oban
Hot chocolate at the cute hostel
Saturday:
Early ferry to Isle of Mull
Iona Monastery (first entry of christianity into Scotland, thank you St. Columba!)
Pub dinner in front of a nice hot fire
A rather frigid night (due to the entire island being out of power thanks to the storm)
Sunday:
Gluten free breakfast (bread included!)
Ferry back to Oban
War and Peace museum (not the book)
Castle Dunstaffagne (sp?)
Train to Fort William
Locating "Chasing the wild goose" (our hostel) in the abandoned farmland of Fort William
Monday:
Early bus to Inverness
Nessie Hunting!
Gluten free organic yummy lunch
St. Andrew's Cathedral
Island Walk
Imaginverness Museum
Bus back to Glasgow (getting in late late late)
Tuesday:
I went to sculpture class while Ker and Ari took a tour of the School of Art, the Tenement Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art
Coffee at the Biblocafe
Touring campus
Dinner at the "Wee Curry Shop"
Drinks at the Grosvenor Pub on Ashton Lane
Pictures are on facebook instead of the blog right now, since the blog is being troublesome about allowing more photos on here (something like I'm out of space??) But I'll work on that, and for now enjoy the album!

Pooh quote: "It isn't much good having anything exciting, if you can't share it with somebody."
Much love,
