I've heard responses such as snow falling on a cold winter day, a newborn baby coming into the world for the first time, or smelling a fresh flower. But if I am ever asked this question in an interview or something, my answer would be rather simple: the Highlands of Scotland. Never in my life have I ever seen anything so incredible and beautiful. The journey there is breath-taking in itself; long, winding roads with beautiful green mountains on either side of the roads, and lochs that stretch for miles and miles with some of the clearest water I have ever seen. I was sitting in the bus, jaw slightly agape just taking in all the beautiful scenery.
The morning started off with a stop to meet Hamish, one of the highland coos (cows). We also got to meet his spouse Heather and their offspring Honey, but I think Honey is a boy. Ok...wouldn't be my first choice for a name for a boy, but I'm not from Scotland. Then we sat on the bus for a while; we left around 10:00 this morning from behind our flat and arrived in our hostel at about 7:00 tonight, but that's including the several stops we stopped at along the way. Ok, I'm not going to blog anymore. The pictures will speak for themselves. Now here I am, nestled into our country hostel that we are to call home for the next 2 nights. It is cozy, but the weather is a bit nippy (probably resembles early spring time weather), probably low 50's high 40's and super WINDY. But just gaze at the beauty and prepare to be amazed! Cheers!
