In Scotland!

Well we made it to Scotland which is great. We took a plane ride from London to Edinburgh this afternoon. The challenge was to make the 3 hour drive from Edinburgh to Inverness driving on the other side of the road. Though we found it challenging at first overall it's not too bad. Dad had a little trouble staying in the middle of the road and had a couple curb checks. I, on the other hand, had trouble with the crazy turnabouts here. At one of them I missed the exit so we had to go around again which felt more like a roller coaster than a turnabout. Either way we escaped without an accident. The town of Inverness is really cool, it has a ton of little Scottish shops and a mall which was surprising. We ate at a place called "The Filling Station" which is basically like a Chili's. We split an order of Nachos and some awesome Lasagna.

Scottish Facts and Other Observations:

The Difference between Scotch and Whiskey and Bourbon: Nothing really, just taste variations as Scotch and Bourbon fall under the category of Whiskey.

The Difference between Scotch and Whiskey and Bourbon for Justin: Nothing really, they're all delicious.

# of people we've seen in kilts: 0 (REALLY hoping this goes up!)

# of times we've been lost: 1 1/2 (really we haven't been lost as we've found our way back, but we almost stopped once, so that's our half)

Games of Cribbage played: 15 Score: Justin 8 Dad 7 Not bad...

That's all for now, here's some pictures to look at, not too many. Super excited to post some pictures of the course tomorrow. Cheers! (It's what Brits say, even without a drink and it's growing on me.)

In Japan, if they say "broke", they mean "bloke" Those damn "Ls".

If you get to a scotch distillery, make sure you become one of the tasters. If you do, your dad may have a chance at golf the next day.
