Well, you knew I'd have to share. What else can you expect when you let three generations worth of boogers loose to fly on air-o-planes, ride on trains, and try to converse with a bunch of normal lookin' folks who jes don't seem tuh tawlk rite!?!
This one here is of the castle at Edinburgh. Some sort of building has sat on this spot for over 3,000 years. The oldest part of this castle was built around 1300 AD. That part is a chapel that sits on the high part of the structure. Inside the gates is a road that winds its way around full circle, going up hill all the time. On top is the chapel, the great fall, etc.
When we first arrived, we thought we'd tag on to one of those "tours leave here every 15 minutes" things. At the beginning, the pretty lady asked our big ol group of about 30: "Where is everyone from?" And a bunch of answers started being mumbled like "Germany," "France," "England," "Israel." Of course, I couldn't help myself. In my best East Texus-Damn-Straight-I-Voted-for-Bush-TWICE-YOU-PANSY-ASS-EUROWEENIES!, I yelled out "TEXUS! Course that's in the USA." I got all the crossways looks you would have expected.
Sheesh! I can't go all that way and not REPRESENT, can I?
