Time for me to go, too.

64. I have been to Scotland..

What a lovely place. The one thing that amazed me was finding a Chinese restaurant in Inverness. We arrived in Glasglow and stayed the night, with the next morning getting a car rental and headed out on the road.. where we went to and stayed over night in a very lovely castle. I forget the name of the little town, but it was fascinating sleeping in a castle, where the dungeon was the bar! Our next area was Loch Lomond... and Loch Ness. We looked for Nessie but never saw it. Our next venture was to go to Fort Wiliam. What a fantastic drive it was there,with some long roads with hills, mountains and even a few abandoned Castles on the way.
Fort William was beautiful. It was there I picked up my beautiful silver ring, of Celtic Design.

Eventually we reached Edinburgh and enjoyed going to the tours there, and visiting the royal castle, where one could see the crown jewels as well as a lovely sword. Having taken Kendo for 15 years I loved visiting the sword shops.. though of course these were nothing like the swords of the Samurai. Still it was fun to see everything there. I think we spent the total week, and flew back to Heathrow Airport and on to home. A rather long trip to San Francisco.

I will never forget my trip to Scotland. It was interesting meeting the people there, and I am sure they found it fascinating talking to an Asian American girl, since I am sure there are not many of us around!
