Alright! Its been a hectic 24 hours since I returned and this is the first I have had a chance to site down and reflect on all that has happened this weekend. Before I begin I just want to say that Scotland has to the most beautiful country there is. It still amazes how beautiful and surreal everything was. Because of this and the nature of our trip I put all of my highland photos up regardless of the quality. A lot of the pictures were taken on the bus. The rain spots and reflections really ruin the pictures but look beyond that to the beautiful terrain. I’m going to break this down day by day.

In just twelve hours I’ll be boarding the train to Scotland. My bag is packed, camera is charged, and my feet are well rested. Look for an update sometime on Monday. I’ll have lots to say and many pictures to post so it will take me a while to get everything organized and uploaded.
Have a great weekend!

It’s been a very rough and very hard 24 hours. But I’ve managed to pull myself together and put on a strong face, the show must go on. Last evening we were given tickets to see The Woman in Black at the Fortune Theatre. It was a very slow play, but had its frightening moments. I just can’t really get scared at a play though. The loud noises that they made were more surprising than scary. It was a good first performance for me to see here but I would never recommend it.
This evening I participated on a Jack the Ripper walk through East London. I saw the site where each murder happened. Some streets were just as they were in 1888 and others have developed into modern day structures. Our guide was excellent and gave his guess as to who it was and why it was done. Has to deal with the government and royal family of course and a large cover up. But what isn’t these days? I do wish I would have researched it a little more before before I went but he did and excellent of going through the entire story. So go Google it!
Not much else to report for the next couple days. I hope to tour the Tower of London and check out the London Transport Museum this weekend. I also scheduled a weekend in Scotland for 3-5 October. Should be fun!
