Stirling
So Stirling wasn't all that exciting -- some nice views, but nothing special. I uploaded a new gallery of pics.
It was way too cold -- you will actually see a picture of me (first one on this trip) and won't be impressed by the backdrop, my expression, nor the amount of clothing I am wearing; suffice it to say, I actually wasn't cold in the places where it looked like I needed more clothing. My feet and hands were frozen -- I have poor circulation in those places...
Anyway, it snowed. SNOWED!! Damnit, the day was gorgeous in the beginning, and so I opted against taking my offshore jacket. And the weather has been a pretty consistent 2C, overcast without rain, for weeks -- snow just came out of nowhere and I wasn't prepared.
Stirling Castle would make for an excellent CounterStrike map -- my pictures don't reflect this very well, but the terrain is very strategic, including entrances to the castle being at 90 degree angles to block line of sight, and provide archers and gunners with direct line of sight. Hot stuff.
Next week: Rosslyn Chapel
Two Weeks: The Isle of Arran

In other news: I conscously used the word `pants' when referring to underwear *in my dreams* the other night -- assimilation is complete. And today I peeled a grapefruit, by hand, in one continuous peel without squirting juice everywhere! It was fantastic... until I dropped it on the floor. But I wasn't going to let that rain on my parade; I ate it right up after removing the hairs.
