So as promised this is going to be a two update week!! Yeah! This (shorter) entry will look to the future and I will be giving you a guided tour into my next couple of weeks up here. So this week is the last week of classes before the fall brake arrives.
On Friday Sarah, Tabatha, and I are headed on a plane to go to Ireland for the weekend. We are base camping in Dublin and going to the Cliffs of Mohr, Guinness Factory, and all of the local sights to see in Dublin. I am looking forward to this because it will be my first venture outside of the UK while I have been over here. We come back to Scotland on Monday and get to come back to Stirling for the day. The next day (Tuesday) we are headed into Edinburgh to go on a three day tour of northern Scotland, Loch Ness, and the Isle of Skye. I am really looking forward to this trip because it will be as far north as we are headed in Scotland, and the views are supposed to be amazing. After returning in Thursday I have a very special visitor coming up and she is staying until the 1st of November. We will be traveling to Loch Lomond while she is up, and it is the largest national park in the UK so that is something to be excited about.
Update on the Kilt, I have decided to go with a quasi-authentic kilt. The truly authentic ones, sheep's wool from Scotland and all of that is really, really expensive and frankly would not be worth it for the amount of wearing I plan to do with this. So I am headed to the middle ground with a Kilt that is 8 Yards and has a tartan with a heritage of Ireland because as far as I know, I am not Scottish. I will be getting that soon hopefully and pictures will be available soon (I Hope).
Looking into the future, we are going to Norway, France, and we hope to get to Italy while we are here as well. So if anyone knows people in these countries who would be willing to put up with a few college kids for a weekend let me know. That would be much appreciated. Well that’s all for now, any questions just add a comment or send me a message somehow.
Until next time, this is Nick, signing off.
