Greetings from Scotland

So two weeks ago I wasn't planning on visiting Scotland. But I was able to use 80,000 miles from US Airways and get a first class roundtrip ticket from San Francisco to Glasgow. I mean, I'm not working at the moment and the ticket would only cost me the price of the taxes and fees for travel... and I can job hunt from anywhere. Plus I'm making international connections while I'm here. :) It is a win all around!

Well, my first day here is a bit of a blur as I was functioning on very little sleep. But Mum and I did head south and hit the shops for a few errands, etc. No pictures of that...

My second day... I slept a million hours, got up late and took a bit of a walk. I walked along the beach path and took a few photos...




The Rail Bridge across the Firth of Forth
















This beach has quite a lot of sea glass... Though not pictured here, I did find a lovely bit of glass with chicken wire running through it.

There are a lot of signs and bike paths and I really liked this suggestion...



I've uploaded my photos from today - but I'll blog about it tomorrow.... it is getting late and if I want to get up tomorrow and actually see more tourist stuff I'd better get to bed sooner rather than later...
