Scotland

Technically, I'll mention a bit more about Dublin first. I didn't really get up to much, just spent my days looking around and reading in parks (that's a good thing, by the way). I did make it to see the Book of Kells and the impressive Long Room at Trinity College and I also walked along the Liffey to the salt water, or at least as far as the path would let me.
My flight last night has to be the shortest flight ever! Like, shorter than CR to Van. Maybe not, but it felt like it. I spent more time in the airport than in the air! Stu's mom (Pat) was waiting there for me on the other end and got me back to the house. We talked for a while, and I met his dad (John), and then I went to bed. In a bedroom all for me, in a bed where there was no one sleeping above or below me! After months of hostels, this is more exciting then you might think.
Today I lazed around and had some tea with Stu's brother's (Scott) girlfriend (Emma) and by the time his mom popped back in for lunch I figured I should probably get outside and do something, especially since it is such a beautiful day. I caught the bus into town and wandered around for a few hours, but in doing so realized both that the house is not far from town, and town is not very big, so I just walked back and hopped onto the internet for a quick update. I'm going to go see if Pat would like some help in the kitchen...
Cheers!
