Better Late Than Never?

Okay, so I have a few last pictures from Scotland to put up... starting with a photo of Loch Tromlee and the ruins that used to be a keep that my ancestors lived in. Pretty cool, huh? It may look like a pile of rocks partially covered by water to you, but I know better. It took a bit of detective work to find this (my older brother, John, did some of it from home, too...), and then a surprising amount of walking ensued, but here it is:

And here's the slightly more impressive (but who's comparing?) Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness. Sadly, the Loch Ness Monster did not make it into the photo, but if you look closely, you can see some suspicious shadows.

And lastly, here's the William Wallace Memorial. By the way, if I was an attacking Englishman, I would totally think twice about running up the ridiculous hill that you have to go up to get to the fortress. Of course, after we hiked to the top, we found out that there was a free shuttle we could have taken.

So there you have it! I have had a great time at home so far, and am looking forward to the rest of the summer, too. I love America, but I feel a little foreign here sometimes! I may be doomed to a life of feeling foreign wherever I go. But if I have to be doomed to something, I guess that's not so bad.
